Schummel Hummel*
To win, players must get rid of their cards before everyone else, and unlike most games, they can cheat to discard cards from their hand. However, one player acts as the guardian, and if they catch someone cheating, that player must keep their original card and take one of the guardian's cards while also becoming the guardian themselves.
Aside from cheating, players must place cards on the central pile that match the top card in some way, possibly using the special powers of various insect cards. Players can also try to steal a grasshopper card between themselves and their neighbors, forcing them to draw two additional cards if successful without being noticed.
