Sheng Xiao

My unexpected find of SPIEL 2025! Great combination of taking tricks, passing to craft your hand and special actions on the cards.

Sheng Xiao is a trick-taking game suitable for 3 to 5 players, where players compete for the positions of the 12 zodiac animals.

Each turn, players can choose to play a combination of 1 to 4 cards, while the other players must respond by either countering with their own cards or choosing to pass. As the game progresses, each player must cleverly utilize their cards to capture the final trick and earn the highest score.

But beware, in this game, having the strongest mouse doesn't guarantee an easy victory! The seemingly weaker cat can turn the tide at just the right moment and claim victory.

Who will be the ultimate champion in this animal showdown? Join the challenge and find out!
