About the game
Cha dango is a very popular Japanese snack. Walk inside the Cha dango store, you can have the bouncing Dango and refreshing green tea. However, one of the waiters is not in his condition; he usually gives you the wrong dango. We apologize for his mistaking your order. If you could help him, maybe he will in return give you an additional Dango for free. When a new order is flipped up, every player should find out the right customers as soon as possible and put their hands on the right customer card(s). If you are the one who put the hand on the card, you will receive that card as rewards. At the end of the game, the player with most customer cards wins the game.
