In Cucumber Catastrophe, you plays as cats who compete over four hands.
Each hand lasts ten rounds. A round is a trick where all players, in turn, play one card from their hand.
The player who played the highest card (or the lowest, depending on the Rule in play) wins the trick and takes all the cards played that round... unless the Rule is broken.
But remember: you do NOT want to collect the cucumbers shown on the cards! They’re scary!
