About

In Schatz des Phönix, you try to grab the more valuable treasure away from your fellow players. In each of three rounds, you play cards one by one onto three phoenix nests until you've played two cards onto each nest. If the cards don't match in color or value, your "strength" for this nest is your highest card played; if the colors or values match, add the cards for your strength; if both color and value match, create a two-digit value from those cards, e.g., two 3s becomes 33 strength. Players claim a treasure from a nest based on their strength relative to one another.
