Short description/ Goal of the game:
A fast-paced card game that requires quick reflexes and keen observation. Players sit in a circle and take turns flipping over cards from their own decks onto a central pile. Each card has a unique symbol on it.
The objective is to grab the totem in the center of the table as soon as two cards with matching symbols are revealed. The player who grabs the totem first gives their discard pile to the other player, adding more cards to their deck.
