L.A.M.A. Kadabra

Players trade cards and manage chips in a light card game about playing ascending numbers and llamas to avoid points. Each round, players take turns playing a matching-or-next-higher card, drawing, or quitting; rounds end when a player empties their hand or everyone but one player has quit. Cards left in hand convert to white (1-point) and black (10-point) chips, and finishing a round lets a player return a chip. This version adds double-number cards that count as two values in scoring, action cards that force draws or transfer low chips, a single blue “magic” chip that can be spent to skip a turn or shifts scoring, and a communal magic stage where playing llamas and claiming stage chips can trigger special resolution. The game ends when a player reaches 40+ points; lowest total wins.
