Description from the publisher: Snake-catching made easy! In the card game Pungi, everybody knows what kinds of animals each player has in their hand, but they don't know the number values. The rewards you can earn are displayed in the middle of the table. Is it a good idea to go catching snakes together with another player – or is it better to try it alone? With your animal cards, try to lure the most valuable snakes without attracting too many poisonous ones. Snake charmers can be of some help turning negative points into positive ones at the end of the game — but if you don’t have any negative points, the snake charmer will turn your positive points into negative points! Whoever has the most points at the end of the game wins.
