Manitou

Kartenspiel

Medical man beats squaw, squaw beats chief and the buffalo is also quite bad.

Manitou is a nice card game that has a pleasant complexity despite speed. In three rounds, players try to hunt buffalo with their eleven different hunters and 5x2 warriors and make prisoners. The hunters represent simple number cards that are applied to three more or less valuable buffalo herds. Anyone who was able to gather the most hunter sum at a herd at the end of each round gets the buffalo points. However, if you have all set up the highest hunter sum in all three herds together, you get ten penalty points.

The second way to earn points is to capture opponent hunters and warriors with his warriors. The warriors have different strengths and can only beat certain other warriors. For example, the squaw is defeated by three warriors (director, medical man, scout), but it is the only one that can beat the chief. By placing the warriors on a herd, a fight is triggered when there is already a warrior. Only a warrior is always active in a herd. Anyone who stops until the end of the round takes all opposing cards and gets a point per card.

After three rounds, the game ends and is winner who could exploit most of the points with buffaloes and prisoners.
