Rimtik

According to legend, macaws in the tropical forests of South America choose their new leader after ruthless battles of rhymes. Rimtik is the name that macaws gave to this challenging party game, which has been transformed into a card game for those who like to play in nice homes far away from the tropical forests of South America. In Rimtik, competing alone or in teams, players play cards on a shared discard pile. The cards show one or more feathers of various colors, and when you play a matching-colored card on top of an intact feather, then you must say a word that rhymes with the word last said; if the feather is broken, then you can keep your rhymes to yourself. Some broken feathers force players to race to slap the discard pile, with the last player drawing a new card from the deck. To win the game, you need to win a predetermined number of rounds. Macaw!
