In Tree Hotel, each player tries to be the first to fill all the empty slots in his tree with guests. Some guests come voluntarily, others must be lured in with red berries, but beware of the insatiable racoon that steals all your red berries. And watch out for the grim brown bear that adores frightening single animals away from your hotel! Game play: Place a Tree Hotel in front of each player. Shuffle the cards and place them face down, as common draw pile, in the middle of the table. Foresee some space for the common discard pile, the personal berry stashes, as well as the personal discard piles that will be generated during the game. Starting with the first player, you take turns clockwise. Draw the top card from the common draw pile, flip it over, and make sure everybody sees it. Goal: Be the first to accommodate 3 pairs of animals in your Tree Hotel. -description from publisher
