Crabs in a Bucket
A strategic shedding card game for 2–6 players. Play suited cards onto a discard pile by matching their suit or number, and discard higher cards of the same suit. If no play is possible, draw cards. Joker Crabs form a separate pile and provide special effects, including forcing opponents to draw or enabling unique combinations. The Lobster cannot be played, so players must find another way to discard it. The first player to empty their hand wins.
