## Description
Get ready for a fierce competition in the world of Gloria Picktoria, where the goal is to become the ultimate chicken tycoon! The game invites you to collect majorities in ten different 'commodities' (think luxury items for chickens, like headdresses or diamond belts!) over three scoring rounds. To win, you need to have the most or second-most cards of each type in play. It sounds simple, but the competition is intense! Each round, you'll be vying for cards with other players, trying to assemble the best combinations to secure your points. The excitement builds because the end of each round is marked by the appearance of specific cards in the draw pile, signaling that it's time to count the eggs (or rather, the points!). If you enjoy fast-paced card games with a touch of strategy and a lighthearted, fun theme, Gloria Picktoria might be a great choice. It's one of those games that fits in your pocket and your schedule, perfect for warming up the table or playing on a casual afternoon. The interaction is direct but without the weight of more complex games, focusing on the struggle for the right cards at the right time. The 'Gloria Picktoria' version brings the charm of Zoch's chickens, but the game itself has been around for a while under different names and themes, proving its timeless quality.
