３番目に強いもぐら, roughly translated as Third Strongest Mole, is a 5-player only trick-taking game with one suit. The game consists of 37 cards, ranked 1 to 37, and 3 front and back rule cards, printed on 4 sheets of perforated business card stock. All but 2 cards are dealt to the players, and the remaining 2 cards are set aside face up, with one designated for the 1st place player and one for the 5th place player. After each person has played a card to a trick, points are awarded based upon rank, with the player who played the highest card earning 2 points, the 2nd highest 1 point, the 3rd highest 0 points, etc. The 1st place player then takes the set aside card into their hand and returns another to the table. The 5th place player does the same. The player with the third most points at the end of the game is the winner. —user summary
