Card Game
In the card game, players strive to collect as many valuable animals as possible by chasing them from the table into their hand. Each player starts with a hand of sixteen cards, featuring four each of elephant, dog, cat, and mouse, with values ranging from 1 to 4. Players choose and reveal a card simultaneously, determining outcomes through a "rock-paper-scissors" format that dictates which animals chase which. At the end of all rounds, players tally the values of their collected animals to determine the winner.
