Sauries

Description

The fast and simple card game Sauries – or Заврики ("Zavriki") in Russian, which translates as "Saurs", as in "dinosaurs" – is based on the traditional card game commonly known as Cheat or Doubt It. Sauries uses a unique asymmetrical deck of cards featuring two mammoths, three bears, four deer and so on up to nine mice. Players try to rid themselves of cards along the lines of Cheat, with players claiming that they have certain cards (whether they do or not), then playing them into a central pile. Five dinosaur cards have special abilities, and these abilities come into play when a dinosaur is revealed after one of the players has said "You're cheating!" and turns over the cards played by someone else.
