Narabi

Players work together to arrange face-up cards around the table into numerical sequence, treating blank cards as zero. Each card hides a private swap rule on its back that specifies what other card it may be exchanged with (for example: red cards, even numbers, higher values). On a turn a player must perform the swap allowed by one of their cards with another player’s card, then record the move; when a card is taken from a player they may read its rule. Players may ask yes/no questions and give nonrevealing suggestions, but may not directly disclose a card’s hidden rule. The group wins by creating an ordered run before the move limit; an expert mode removes verbal communication and forbids immediate undoing of swaps.
