Papageno is a pocket-sized family card game where your mission is to attract the lightest birds into your enchanted garden. To impress the Queen, you’ll need to attract only the best birds. Choose carefully, as the heaviest birds might cost you the victory…
To start, deal six cards to each player. Then arrange your cards in two rows without looking at them. The remaining cards form the draw pile. Each player reveals a card from their set and the first card from the draw pile is also revealed.
On your turn, take the card top card of the discard pile or pick one from the draw pile. Then look at the card and exchange it for one of your set (it can be a face-up or face-down card). Your new card is placed face up and the exchanged card goes in the discard pile.
There are three special cards whose powers are activated when you place them in your game area.
- Capture - When you place this card in your game area, you can capture a bird or a special card from one of your opponent’s collections.
- Pan flute - When Papageno plays his flute, birds dance around! If you place this card in your game area, you give your exchanged card to the player on your left.
- Egg - The egg card takes the value of the card to its left or right. If you place it in the middle column, you can decide which value this card is identical to.
The game ends as soon as one player has all their cards face up. Everyone then reveals their cards and count their scores. Remember small is beautiful – collect the smallest and lightest birds and win two rounds to be victorious!
