About Cowabunga

In Fettnapf by Reinhard Staupe, the object of the game is to avoid collecting Fettnapf cards. Sounds simple, but as the game title suggests, little problems arise everywhere. In turn order, cards are played out and the values added together or subtracted: 24…29…32…25… but beware: if you say a number that someone has in hand, then you’ve put your foot in it.
