Space Beans

Players collect sets of alien beans into up to two collections — one face-up public pile and one face-down secret pile — aiming to score 30 trophy points. On a turn, players draw beans, add any drawn or played bean to one of their collections if it matches, then pass their entire hand to the right. When a collection contains a number of beans equal to a bean’s printed value, that collection can be redeemed for that many trophy points: the valued bean goes to the trophy pile and the remaining cards are discarded. Play continues until a player reaches 30 trophy points.
