Besides souvenirs exceeding the value limit, you might have some 'special' items that shouldn't be there. Your goal is simple yet challenging: deceive airport officials and get your illicit cargo through without your luggage being searched. This is a vibrant card game that blends the thrill of bluffing with the strategy of 'shedding' (or ladder climbing), where the objective is to get rid of your cards before other players. Each round is a chance to put on your best innocent face or risk a daring bluff to pass your items. Muamba is perfect for those looking for quick games, full of laughs and tense moments, where the ability to read your opponents is as important as the luck of the draw. ## FAQ ### How many players can play Muamba?
