## Description
In TSCHAK!, the magic happens when everyone starts with the exact same cards in hand! The big question is: who will succeed in dodging the scariest monsters and grabbing juicy treasures, or who will go after the legendary Rings of Power? The deck features blue wizards, green warriors, red dwarves, and purple artifacts. At the start, each player receives a handful of these cards. To play, you'll assemble teams of three adventurers with different colors to face the challenges of a castle divided into three levels. On the first level, you choose and reveal cards one by one. On the second, one card and then a pair. On the third, everything is revealed at once! Your team's strength is the sum of the card values, and the weakest team gets a monster (negative points), while the strongest secures a treasure (positive points). The Chameleon Wizard is a powerful wild card, and artifacts can boost your team in unexpected ways. The game has a tie-breaker system that favors wizards, warriors, and dwarves in specific orders. After each round, hands are passed to the neighbor, and you play with the cards that were held by the player to your right. After four rounds, the final tally decides who was the master at managing their hand, predicting others' moves, and having that touch of luck to emerge victorious. TSCHAK! is a fast-paced game, full of twists, testing your memory and your bluffing skills.
