災禍万来 (Saika Banrai) is a must-follow trick-avoidance card game where the trick is awarded to the highest card played of the lead suit. Each time one of the four suits is played to a trick, a card representing that suit will be revealed from the center of the table - once all suits have been played, a cataclysmic event will occur, awarding additional negative points instead to the lowest card played of the lead suit. The cataclysmic event will be reset and play continues! 『災禍万来』は、「勝ちたくない」失点系トリックテイキングゲームです。プレイヤーは失点となる災禍カードを引き取ってしまわないよう、巧みに負ける必要があります。 ただし、各プレイヤーが災禍カードを出していくと中央の天変地異カードが次々と表になっていき、全て表になったら大量の失点が誰かに降りかかってしまいます………。 時には覚悟を決めて勝つことで、天変地異から逃れることも重要です………。
