Tails on Fire ENGLISCH

Fire Tails

One night, the iguana Iguana decided to secretly leave the village and take the fire with him. Iguana had always coveted the fire, and now he wanted to have it all to himself, after all, he had kept it long enough. Iguana brought the fire to his hideout at the entrance of a cave high up near the mountain peak. When the villagers noticed the theft, they gathered in despair. In the distance, they could see the glow of the fire in the sky while they waited in the darkness. Gradually, more and more voices rose up demanding the return of the fire. Crow and Frog were the loudest among them. But the people also longed for the fire to return. So a plan was devised to bring back the fire without being discovered by Iguana. Opossum set out to bring the fire back into the world, outsmarted Iguana, and ran away with a burning tail. At least that’s how the Huichol in Mexico tell it.

Tailson Fire is an interactive card game where the constantly changing selection of the best three cards in a round creates a permanent dilemma, resulting in a unique gaming experience. This challenging game with easy-to-learn rules is the clever work of the German author Tails on Fire, a fascinating composition of Mexican art, Huichol history, and super cute opossums brought to life by the Mexican artist Mayra Guadalupe Ornelas Ramos.

Tailson Fire is a constant hunt for the next and hottest fire! Before a round, each player looks at which fire card with which value is available to win in the current display and which fire they might steal from the other players. Then the player selects the three cards they want to play in the current round. In the following round, the goal is to stay in the game permanently.
