Pungi

Players hold animal cards that reveal species but not their point values, and shared reward cards lie face-up in the center. On each turn, players decide whether to join an active capture attempt or pass, placing animal cards to lure snakes while avoiding poisonous ones. Snake charmer cards modify scoring by converting negative totals to positive — or reversing positive totals to negative if no negatives are present. The game resolves points after several rounds, and the player with the highest total wins.
