(A particular favorite holiday of ours, as Sandi and I were married on that day in Marietta Confederate Cemetery.) It is short (about 30 minutes), and rather brain bending.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDia De Los Muertos (Days Of The Dead) is played over three days as you send animals, then children, then adults on to the afterlife. It is a basic \u003ca class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/boardgamegeek.com\/wiki\/page\/trick_taking#\"\u003etrick taking\u003c\/a\u003e game, except that most cards have an action with them. You play as a partnership, and if your side wins scoring cards (the dead or food), you exchange a card with your opponent. Other cards allow swaps between partners, asking a question, cancelling other cards and so on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first time you play, there's a lot of checking the rules, checking the crib sheet, remembering if you exchange cards. You spend more time figuring the game than playing the tricks. But after a couple of hands, it makes sense and you switch to game-playing mode. And here's where it pays. If you enjoy Bridge, can figure out what you partner signals when they swap a card, can read the deck based on what's been played, you will really enjoy Dia De Loa Muertos. If you don't like Bridge, or can't figure trick-taking games anyway, steer well clear. Rather brain-bending it is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original game has nice native graphics of the dead abroad and has a variant for 3 players. The re-issue as Four Dragons has an oriental theme.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jolly Roger Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":18437258497,"sku":"18437258497","price":11.94,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/four_dragons.jpg?v=1578609114","url":"https:\/\/www.booyakajuice.com\/products\/four-dragons","provider":"booyakajuice","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
