Poush Poush à la ferme

Equipment: Poush Poush à la ferme is a card game that contains 36 cards representing either animals, fruits and vegetables or tools from the farm (symbols). Each card has a colour, blue, green or pink and a number of symbols, varying from one to four.

Goal of the game: The players are farmers. Each player plays his/her cards to draw unbroken lines of the same Figures, Colours or Symbols in order to score points. The first to reach 10 points wins the game.

Set-up: The cards are shuffled and each player receives 3 cards. A 3x3 grid is constituted by turning the first 9 cards of the pack.

Course of the game: On his turn, each player must:

1. Play a card from his hand. The player lays a card on one side of the game square (Top, Bottom, Left, Right) and pushes the chosen card into the square by sliding the corresponding line, thus pushing out the card placed at the opposite end of the line. This last card is discarded. The square is now in a new configuration. The player declares all the valid lines he has newly created (Number, Color or Symbol). He scores 1 point for each line created and declared.

2. Draw a card. The player draws a card from the deck.

End of the game: The game ends when a player reaches 10 points and wins the game.
