Baobab*
Baobab features players constructing a tree using 108 random cards they cannot see. Each turn, a player declares how many cards they will play and places them according to the card's instructions. Falling cards lead to penalties, and the game ends when a player places their last card; the one with the fewest cards in their penalty pile wins.
