どうぶつれんさ (Animal Chain) (2017)

User summary
どうぶつれんさ (Doubutsu Rensa) in English means 'Animal Linker Card' and is in the position between being a card game and being a board game. While simple rules make it playable for children from the age of four, the game also has strategic aspects that make it just as enjoyable for adults.

Before beginning the game, place cards face-down in rows to create the board. Arrange each row to start and end at the halfway point of the starting and ending cards of the rows above and below in a double pyramid pattern.There should be a total of 7 rows, but players are free to arrange these rows into any shape they please (doesn't have to be a straight line).

Deal four cards to each player to form their hand. The player who doesn’t go first is dealt one additional card. The remaining cards serve as the deck.

The players may then proceed to freely exchange the cards in their hand with cards from the row on the board closest to them to form their own “base”. After the cards making up the base have been chosen, these cards should be placed face up.

During a player’s own turn, they may play a card from their hand that connects with the characters drawn upon one of the cards previously played faced up on the table.

If a face-down card is available where the player places their card, this card is taken into the player’s hand. If a face up card is already placed where a player wishes to play their card, the player simply places their card on top of this card.

A player may chose to either place a card or pass and draw a card from the deck. The first player to place a card on top of their opponent’s base is the winner.

Publisher's summary
「どうぶつれんさ」は4歳から遊べるシンプルなルールながら、大人も楽しめる戦略性もあるカードゲームとボードゲームの中間のようなゲームです。

ゲーム開始前にカードを裏向きに並べてボードを作ります。
列ごとに半分ずつずらすように並べ、おおむね7列で線対象の形であれば自由な形が可能です。

プレイヤーに手札を4枚ずつ配り、後攻になったプレイヤーに1枚手札を多く与えます。残りを山札とします。
次にプレイヤーは自分に一番近いボードの列のカードと、手札を自由に入れ替えて「ベース」を作ります。「ベース」を決めたら表向きにします。

プレイヤーは自分のターンに、手札のカードと既にボードにある表向きのカードに描かれたキャラクターが繋がるようにカードを出します。
　そこに裏向きのカードがあれば、裏向きのカードは手札に加え、表向きのカードがあれば、そのまま上に重ねます。

カードを1枚出すか、出さずにパスをして山札から1枚ドローしたら相手にターンを回します。

先に相手の「ベース」の上にカードを置いた方の勝ちとなります。
