修訂早前構想的桌遊《為食貓》/HUNGRY MEOW設計,同時公開遊戲卡牌組件以便複製使用。

試幻想自己化身為一隻貓,被主人趕出家門。從此你浪落街頭,餐風飲雨,三餐無人伺候,安逸與你無干。你東走西顧,辛苦勞碌,但未必得到溫飽。曠野危機四伏,街巷也不見得安全。你看似自由,但又無處容身。每日每夜,淪落天涯的同類與你一起覓食、搶食、飢不擇食,甚至遭遇各種意外。

 

現為大家介紹「Hungry Meow」這款桌遊。遊戲裡頭,玩家將扮演一回流浪貓,在城巿裡掙扎求存,為一日飽腹鬥智鬥力。

 

遊戲基本配置

基本卡牌72張:​

● 餐點牌(Meal)7張,分別為5張「麵餅 (Loaf)」,及2張「涸魚 (Fish) 」;

● 死亡牌(Death)1張;

● 數字牌(Numbered Card)64張,每張數字牌由一款圖案(「貓掌」或「貓拳」)以及一個數字(1至8號)組成,而每張卡牌上的數字會分為紅、黃、藍或綠四種顏色。

遊戲人數:2 – 6人​

遊戲時間:約15分鐘一局

遊戲玩法

(1)先從桌上卡組抽起「餐點牌(Meal)」及「死亡牌(Death)」,然後洗牌;各玩家從卡組抽5張牌,作為開始手牌;

(2)將先前抽起「餐點牌(Meal)」及「死亡牌(Death)」混入桌上卡組,然後洗牌。接著玩家可以決定按順時針抑或逆時針次序出牌來開始遊戲;

 

(3)每回合開始,玩家會先從桌上卡組抽1張牌,並展示給其他玩家看,讓眾人知道是否抽到「餐點牌(Meal)」或「死亡牌(Death)」。如果玩家該回合開始時手牌多達7張(「餐點牌(Meal)」亦包括在內),則該回合不能抽牌。如果玩家該回合開始時手牌只餘1張或以下,則可以從桌上卡組中抽5張牌;(如果桌上卡組的卡牌數目少於5張,則將所有棄牌/已放出的牌重組,放在桌上卡組底部,以敷使用。)

 

(4)接著玩家可以打出1至3張數字牌或者選擇「pass」跳過回合;如玩家打出2張以上數字牌,有關數字牌上方須是同一款圖案(「貓掌」或「貓拳」);

 

(5)玩家結束回合後,下一名玩家會先抽1張牌,然後決定「Pass」抑或出牌。倘若玩家出牌,數字牌可以1至3張為組合,惟數字總和必須較上一名出牌玩家出的大,而數字牌上的圖案必須與上一名出牌玩家出的相同;

 

(6)倘若玩家出牌後,其餘玩家都選擇「Pass」,該名玩家可以在其回合開始時任意打出1至3張數字牌,並重新決定新一輪數字牌的圖案;如玩家打出2張以上數字牌,有關數字牌仍須以同一款圖案(「貓掌」或「貓拳」)組合;

 

(7)每當玩家打出數字牌組合符合以下條件,而其餘玩家都選擇「Pass」(即沒有打出其他牌去取代),則該名玩家在其回合開始、從卡組抽牌(倘若手牌仍未達7張)之前,可以行使相應的特殊權限:

 

(a) 至少兩張牌同一數字:觀察桌上卡組首5張牌,然重新編配次序,放在桌上卡組面部或者底部。

 

(b) 兩張牌同一顏色:從另外一名玩家手上抽一張手牌並放進自己手牌,或者將自己其中一張手牌放進另外一名手牌。

 

(c) 至少兩張牌同一數字同一顏色,先執行權限(a)然後權限(b)。

 

(8)倘若有玩家抽到「死亡牌(Death)」,該名玩家就得將其手牌(包括其所收集到的「食物牌(Meal)」以及「死亡牌(Death)」放回桌上卡組中,然後洗牌並抽一張牌。倘若是「數字牌(Numbered Card) 」,該名玩家便宣告淘汰;

 

(9)倘若有玩家搶先收集到任意3張「餐點牌(Meal)」,或者2張「餐點牌 (Meal)」中的「涸魚(Fish) 」,或者成為遊戲中最後的生還者(其餘玩家淘汰),該名玩家便可以向其他玩家展示有關「餐點牌(Meal)」並宣告勝利,結束遊戲。

結語

此刻吃飽了嗎?下一刻還是會飢餓。囤積糧食嗎?食物卻會隨時日腐朽。街道五光十色,行人熙來攘往,縱使流浪貓心意回轉,但又何去何從?誰願意敞開大門,讓牠們投奔樂園?流浪貓實在身不由己,但我們人類還有選擇,又會怎樣做?

Object

The first player to collect any 3 of “Meal” Cards / 2 Fish cards wins the game. If not, the player going through to the end of game (the last survivor from the Player Elimination)wins the game.

Set up

Assign one of players as the host. Shuffle the deck. Each player is dealt 5 numbered cards. Place the desk – the remaining numbered cards with “Death” Card and “Meal” Cards- facedown to form a DRAW pile.  The numbered cards played becomes a DISCARD pile. If the number of cards from DRAW pile is less than 5, shuffle the cards from the DISCARD pile and return them to the bottom of the DRAW pile.

Rules

● The host plays first, and then decides the direction of play.

● Play passes to the left / the right to start.

● Player can pick 1 card from the top of the DRAW pilebefore playing cards in his/ her turn, provided that the player has less than 7 cards in hand.  If the player has less than 2 cards in hand, s/he can pick 5 cards.

● The card picked from the top of the DRAW pile should be displayed at once before put into player’s hand, so that all player can know whether it is a “Death” Card, a “Meal” Card or a numbered card.

● If the player picks “Death” Card, s/he should return all his/her hand cards and the “Death” Card into the desk of DRAW pile. Then, s/he should shuffle the desk and draw 1 card. If the card drawn is a numbered card, the player loss and quit from the game.

● Player can play 1 to 3 numbered card(s) in his/her turn provided that they are in the same symbol (paw or punch). After that, move the turn to the next player.

● For next player, the numbered cards s/he plays must be in the same symbol with the top card on the DISCARD pile. At the same time, the sum of the numbered cards s/he plays must be greater than that of the top card set on the DISCARD pile.  For example, if the top card set on the DISCARD pile, played by the opponent, contains a Blue paw 2 and a Blue paw 4, you must play a numbered paw card with number 7 or above, or a set of numbered paw cards which the sum of the numbers is greater than 6. 

● If the player cannot play any numbered card in his/her turn, s/he has to announce “Pass” and end his/her turn.Then, the next player starts his/her turn.

● If all the opposing players announce “Pass” to the set ofnumbered card(s) you played, you can start a new turn with playing a new set of numbered card(s). 

● When all the opposing players announce “Pass” to the set of numbered card(s) you played, you may trigger the Prophecy and/or the dealer skill(s) before the drawing phrase in the beginning next turn, if the set of numbered card(s) you played fulfills the following scenario(s):-

■ Scenario (a) – at least 2 numbered cards are in the same number: Prophecy

Checking the desk’s top 5 cards and rearranging them in any order, after that, placing them to the desk’s top or the desk’s bottom;

■ Scenario (b) – 2 numbered cards are in the same color: Dealer

Drawing 1 cards from any one of opposing players’ hand to your hand, or giving 1 hand card to any one of opposing players; 

■ Scenario (c) – both requirements of Scenarios (a) and (b) are fulfilled: Prophecy skill will be triggered first, then the Dealer skill.

Epilogue

Whoever is filled with food will be hungry again. And everything stored on earth will one day turn to dust.  The cats have no salvation until someone stretches out thehands and invites them turning to the sweet home. Yet the cats have no choice. Unlike the cats, we human do. What will we do?
