## Description
Brace yourselves for the cold, folks! In Whale Riders: The Card Game, we join the whale riders on a tense journey along the Ice Coast. Winter has arrived early, making the hunt for supplies dangerous, so everyone decides to band together for one last big supply run at each port. However, as usual, everyone has their own preferences, and the fight for the best goods begins when it's time to close the deal. This is a reimplementation of Reiner Knizia's classic card game Trendy, where we collaborate only to fiercely compete later. You'll need to manage your hand wisely, decide if it's worth pushing your luck for that extra item, and keep an eye on set collections to secure victory. It's a race against time and other players, where alliances form and break in the blink of an eye. With quick games and easy-to-learn rules, it's perfect for those who enjoy a dynamic card game with a touch of fantasy and plenty of interaction. Can you bring the supplies your clan needs without ending up in trouble on the Ice Coast?
