## Description
Get ready for a prehistoric hunt in Mammut, a quick and clever game where dividing the spoils is as crucial as the hunt itself! Picture this: you and your tribe have just taken down a majestic mammoth, and now it's time to divide the meat, bones, tusks, and everything else. But beware, because everyone wants the biggest slice of the pie (or rather, the mammoth!).

The division mechanic is the heart of Mammut. Each round, tiles representing the hunt's spoils are tossed onto the table. On your turn, you have two options: take any number of tiles you want, or accuse the previous player of greed and take all their tiles, but with the obligation to return one to the table. This dance of taking and returning continues until the last player without tiles takes what's left. It sounds simple, but the complexity arises in the choices: which tiles to take? When to accuse someone? And most importantly, how to ensure you get the sets that score the most points at the end?

Besides the division, you can use cards for immediate effects or to secretly influence the scoring. Managing your hand of cards and anticipating others' moves is crucial to emerge as the tribe's greatest hunter. Mammut is a light game, perfect for families and for those who enjoy a good dose of interaction and strategy without it dragging on. With games lasting around 30 minutes, it's ideal for kicking off a game night or for a quick match among friends.
