About

A reworking of his earlier Black Sheep release, Manekinecollection is a game from Reiner Knizia where players are forming poker hands. There are three sets of two public items with colors - cats in this edition. During a round, each player takes exactly 6 turns to place 3 cards at each of the locations. Then, players are ranked based upon the strength of the set made from their cards, err cats, and the public cats. The winner looks at the points and effects on some hidden tiles, taking the one they want and giving the other to the player with the second strongest set. After a number of rounds, the player with the most points wins. There are positive tiles, negative tiles, points for collecting certain sets, and points triggered by certain symbols.
