To pick up, choose all of the passenger cards of one color from the row waiting at the bus stop, then place them in your bus — that is, the area in front of you, which can hold at most ten cards. Senior citizens aren't going far, so you score them immediately instead of placing them on the bus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo drop off, choose a group of passengers on your bus that match one of the available destination cards — for example, all men, all girls, or one passenger of each color — then remove these passengers from your bus and place them under the card. You score points for each card depending on how many people you delivered at once, so aim for large groups. Whenever a player drops off, everyone else can make one of their matching passengers skedaddle, removing them from the bus and placing them in a personal scoring pile with their senior citizens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the bus stop can't be refilled with passengers or only a certain number of destination cards remain, the game ends. Tally your score, earning 1 point for each single card and the listed points for each destination card. If your bus is empty, congratulations! You earn a depot bonus for not stranding passengers on your bus. They will thank you for not doing that...\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Saashi \u0026 Saashi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51943261077790,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/7434\/9086\/files\/bus_stop_front.png?v=1781629137"},{"product_id":"the-a-chord","title":"Take The A Chord (2021 Second Edition)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTake The \"A\" Chord\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, a.k.a.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAコードで行こう\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, is a trick-taking card game in which players become jazz musicians and compete in the strength of the chord.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCards come in five suits (colors) labeled A-G, and in a trick, you must play a card of the same suit led — unless you have a card in the same letter as a card previously played, in which case you can play that. Why would you do that? Because initially the highest-valued letter in the game, e.g. C, is determined randomly, with the other cards being ranked lower in C in order: C is higher than D, which is higher than E, etc. with G higher than A. When you play the same chord — that is, letter — as another player, you make that chord the new highest-valued letter for subsequent tricks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat's more, if you play the same chord as the player who started the trick — that is, if you\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eimprovise\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e— not only do you change the highest-ranking chord, that trick goes unresolved and you start a new trick with the winner of that trick taking all tricks played since multiple instances of improvisation can take place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou score a bonus for improvisation, but you don't want to take too many tricks in a round as that will cost you points in the long run.

Then for each color you played, if you have any \"free\" (i.e. unpaired) cards, see whether another player has a free card of the same color and opposite gender; if so, take one of these cards to create a pair in front of you, with the holder of the \"stolen\" card being compensated by 1-2 points from the reserve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo end your turn, refill your hand to eight cards by drawing 1-3 cards, one each from different stacks.
