You are a traveler. On your journey, you will cross a large
forest. There is a strange story about this forest.
-If you gather four tigers, they will start fighting,
chase each other around and around, and melt
into "ghee". -
And the resulting "ghee" is called "TIGHEE"
and tastes better than any other "ghee" in
this world. However, if you were attacked
by a tiger, you would not be unscathed.
Do you want to catch the tigers to get the fantastic "ghee"
or do you want to escape from the tigers and get out of the
forest? Which path will you choose?
*"ghee" ... A kind of butter used in India and other countries
for a long time.

About the Deck and Black Cards
The Black Card is a "tiger hiding in the dark". When the Black Card is in your hand, it is treated as "Black" because its appearance
(color) is not
known like a tiger hiding in the bushes, but the moment it is put on the field from your hand, it becomes the tiger
(color) of the card in the 【Forest】.
What is the "Black Card" ?
At the beginning of each trick, a card is revealed from the deck and placed face up
in the 【forest (card place)】. During this trick, a "Black Card" from the hand is treated as
"the same color" as the card placed in 【Forest】.
(Black Cards in the hand are treated as "Black".)
※The "number" of the card that is played does not change.
Shuffle the cards well and deal them face down to each player.
(See the table below for the number of cards.)
★The excess card become a deck.
Place them face down in the center.

Flow of the game
The person who has recently "seen a tiger" or "eaten ghee (butter)" is the Lead Player (First Player) for the first trick. (Or by any other suitable method.)
The top card of the deck is revealed and placed face up on the 【Forest (card place)】.

※In this trick, the "Black Card" on the field is treated as the same "color" as the card on the 【Forest】.
(The "number" of the card you put out does not change.)
The Lead Player chooses a card from the hand and puts it out face up.

※The turn is made one by one in a "clockwise" direction, starting with the Lead Player.
The 2nd~4th player choose a card and puts it out face up according to the following rules.
When everyone has played one card, the trick is judged to be won or lost.
The player who wins the trick gathers the cards on the field and makes the deck.
Put the 【Forest】 cards face up on the top of this deck and place in front of the player.

※Make and place a deck of cards for each trick so that the number of tricks won is known.
※Cards acquired cannot be checked (only the top of the acquired deck can always be seen).
The player who wins the trick becomes the Lead Player of the next trick.
Then, the above steps are repeated until there are no more cards in hand.
