The grey fins of the shark pack draw closer and closer, walruses prepare to attack, and the dark shapes of mighty orcas lurk around them all. Everyone is hungry and looking for tasty prey: The time is right for an Aqua Brunch! You will choose how lavish the banquet will be, but beware of the jellyfish because they might give you indigestion! In this card game, you must collect turn by turn the best combinations of predators and food. Each turn, players receive three cards — two face-up and one face-down — then they pass one card to their left-hand player until someone calls "Brunch". If you want to continue passing, you have to draw an aqua card (which usually grants penalties in the scoring phase). When all of the aqua cards are gone or everyone has agreed to "brunch", players start the scoring phase. Everyone then plays one of their score (food) cards; whoever played the strongest combination chooses one of the just played score (food) cards, then the next player chooses, etc. After six rounds, the game ends.
