Description from the publisher:

Strengthen your claim on victory points or increase the amount of victory points? That is the constant dilemma of 4 Seasons. Each turn, players choose two of their hand cards (with values 1-3 and one of the seasons) and hand them to their opponent. Now, the opponent must add one card to the victory point pile of its respective season, and one card to their own display, making them more likely to score victory points for a specific season. After all cards were played, only the player with the highest value of one season in their display scores all of this season's victory points. When tied, no player scores for the tied season. As usual, the higher score wins.

4 Seasons is an elegantly designed card game for 2 players that creates difficult decisions and a tense duel with simple, intuitive rules. Thanks to its custom shuffle each player has the exact same prospects At the same time there is enough hidden information to allow players to bluff their opponents and repeatedly get them into predicaments.

Elements, a.k.a. Khmer, is a bluffing and deduction game for two players that contains only sixteen cards, with each player trying to figure out the best time to end the round so that they can win. The goal each round is to have a hand of cards with a higher sum than the opponent, but equal to or less than the sum played to the table.

To set up a round, deal six cards face down to each player, then remove the remaining four cards, unseen, from the game. On your turn, you take one of these five actions:

1: PLAY a card from your hand to the table, overlapping any cards previously played and announcing the sum of all revealed cards.

2: DRAW the most recently played card from the table and place it in front of you; this card counts as being in your hand, thereby increasing the sum of your hand and lowering the sum on the table, but you cannot discard or play this card.

3: DISCARD a 6 card from your hand, placing it to the side out of play for this round.

4: KNOCK to end the round and see who wins; you may do this only if the sum of cards in your hand is equal to or less than the sum on the table. The players than compare sums, and whoever has the highest sum (without going over the sum of cards on the table) wins 2 points; if the players are tied, the player who knocked loses.

5: FOLD to end the round because you think that you will lose; the opponent wins 1 point.

Shuffle all the cards, and redeal; the player who scored in the round starts the next round, and the first player to collect 6 points wins. Alternatively, players can play only a single round to determine the winner, ignoring the FOLD action since that's a sure loser...
