Tamago Dorobou is a card game where you must protect dinosaur eggs while sabotaging your rivals. Each player starts with a nest and the goal is to collect one egg from each of the five available species. During the game, you'll draw cards, steal from opponents' hands, and decide whether to protect your eggs, raise dinosaurs, or attack other nests. Dinosaur cards grant special abilities, like peeking at someone's hand, recovering discarded cards, or even blocking attacks. But beware: some event cards are harmless in your hand but become dangerous weapons if stolen. The first player to start their turn with all five different eggs in their nest wins!
