Rules of the Game (Long Play Version)
Team Goal: Match all nine cards in your team’s hand to claim an organ. Ring the bell! Place your organ on the board.
System Goal: Be one of the first three teams within one system to have claimed an organ.
Trade 1–4 cards with another team. Traded cards must be the same suit (all Br, all S, all M, all H, all V, or all Bl) and the same in number (1, 2, 3, or 4 cards).
Roll the die. The player/team matching that number goes first. It chooses 1–4 cards to trade with another team and announces how many it has to trade.
The teams who have an equivalent number of matching cards to trade raise their hands. If more than one team has an offer, the die is rolled until the number matches or is closer to one of the teams.
To trade two cards, for example, pull out two cards from your hand and announce “Two cells! Two cells!” then look for someone also looking to trade two cards.
