Nanatoridori*
Nanatoridori is a clever card-shedding game in which you are a castle guide helping the birds – the cards in your hand – return home after a party. From a deck of 63 cards (nine each of values 1–7) you get a hand you may not rearrange.
You play single cards or sets of equal value, but only when the cards sit adjacent in your hand. You beat the table with a higher value or a larger set, then take the beaten cards into your hand or discard them. Cannot or will not play? Draw a card and pass.
