## Description
Get ready for some fierce competition on the farm with Farm Hand, a super-fast and addictive micro card game! With just 21 cards and games lasting between 15 to 20 minutes, it's perfect for taking anywhere and playing anytime. It's the kind of game that fits in your pocket and entertains you for hours. 

In Farm Hand, you and up to four friends (yes, it works for 1 to 5 players!) will face off in 6 rounds of pure strategy. Each round, your hand of cards increases, starting with one and growing to six. The trick here is prediction: with all cards visible, you need to guess how many tricks you'll win. Guessing isn't enough; you have to bet! The bid is made simultaneously by showing a number of fingers – a very visual and fun way to say 'I think I'll take X tricks'. 

After the bidding, the magic happens. You play your cards following classic trick-taking rules, where the highest card wins. But beware! If two cards of the same value appear, they cancel each other out, and the next highest takes the win. This ensures surprising twists and plenty of reactions at the table, between laughs and groans. 

And the scoring? Simple and direct: hit the exact number of tricks you bid? You score points equal to the current round. Missed? You pay one negative point for each difference. The goal is to accumulate the highest score by the end of the 6 rounds. Farm Hand is a game of deduction, predictive bidding, and a touch of 'take that', all wrapped up in a light and accessible experience. Ideal for those looking for quick and smart fun!
