Animal One-Card is a matching card game member of the shedding family of games!
Rules of play
The dealer deals out seven cards for two players, or five cards for three or more players. When all players have been dealt their hands, one card is laid face-up in the middle of the table to form the discard pile, and the rest of the deck laid face-down beside it forming the stock pile.
The player to the dealer's right plays first by following the color or animal of the first card led, or by playing a cat card. If the players can not follow the lead, they must draw a card from the stock. The players then take turns playing or drawing cards and the first player who plays all his of her cards out wins the game.
Action cards
• Pig - Take another turn (play another card, or draw a card if none can be played).
• Snake - Reverse the direction of play (in the case of two players, it functions just like a Jack).
• Rabbit - Jump (skip) the next player.
• Monkey - the player calls out the new suit to play.
Attack and defense cards
When an attack card is played, the next player must draw one or more cards, or play another attack card.
• Tiger - damage level of two.
• Dragon - damage level of three.
• Cat - damage level of five.
Damage adds up.
Penalties
When a player has only one card left, they must call out "One Card". The player who has only one card is penalized in return if someone else calls out "One Card" first.
