Scottentots

Designed by Reiner Knizia 1999. Published by ASS. A 2-player game, which takes about 20 minutes to play. Spring is in the air over the Scottish Highlands. Birds chirp peacefully above the grazing pasture between the villages of North- and South-Scottenbury. Suddenly there are heard wild battle-shouts from both north and south, and in no time the fiercest men of both villages face each other across the pasture. There are nine prizes up for grabs in a game, and the goal is to either score five of them or three in a row. Play three cards on your side of the prize that beat your opponent's effort on the other side. Players use the deck consisting of one through nine in six suits to build poker-like efforts. By many compared as a predecessor to 'Lost Cities', by the same designer.
