## Description
Get ready for an unusual party in Blind Business! The city is abuzz with the announcement of a contest to take down Ricky, a giant donkey-shaped piñata, the local mascot. But hold on, no one can achieve this feat alone! Your goal is to assemble the best team of 'piñata poppers' by recruiting talent from the city's four districts. The catch? You don't know who's in your own hand until it's too late, and your opponents are also eyeing the best recruits! It's a race against time to pop Ricky and take home candy, the Grand Trophy, and, of course, never-ending prestige.

Blind Business is a clever card game, featuring a deck of 50 cards numbered 1 to 11 in four colors, plus six jokers. At the start, you receive four cards, but here's the twist: after peeking at them, you shuffle them and place them face down towards you, so all other players can see them, but you can't! On your turn, you can request a card from an opponent. If they refuse, the card stays with them for end-game scoring. If they hand it over, they can try to take a card from your hand. You can accept the trade (and both score the cards) or refuse (and each scores their own card). Regardless of what happens, everyone refills their hand to four cards. Cards are arranged in columns by color, representing the city's different zones. Final scoring depends on color majorities, but there's a shortcut to victory: collecting five consecutive cards of the same color guarantees an instant win! It's a game of bluffing, negotiation, and a lot of blind fun!
