The Bucket King*

A card game with an unusual scoring system involves players using sets of animal cards to knock over opponents' bucket pyramids. Each player starts with 12 cards from five colors, numbered 1-8, and must strategically attack or defend against opponents' moves.

Players can escalate the game by adding cards to their original play and reversing play direction under certain conditions. The game ends when a predetermined number of players have lost all their buckets, with the winner being the one with the most remaining buckets.

Nominated for 3 awards.
