Players must play off one another in order to gain points, but the highest suited card is not always the one that takes the trick, so one must be as clever as the Crow in Aesop's fable to score points and not perish from thirst.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe deck consists of three colored suits of stone cards (numbered 2-10) and one set of black \"thirst\" cards (also numbered 2-10); a separate deck of pitcher cards has values from 6 to 13, with some duplicates, and one pitcher is revealed each trick. One player leads the first trick with a stone card, and other players must follow suit, if possible. If a player cannot follow suit, she can play a thirst card instead, and from the next round thirst cards can lead the trick. Whoever wins a trick leads the next trick, so winning tricks helps you dictate play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the sum of the colored cards is less than the pitcher value, then the \u003cem\u003elowest\u003c\/em\u003e card matching the lead wins; this player gets all cards played (positive points for colors, negative for thirst) and the Pitcher card (worth -5 points). If the sum of the colored cards is equal to or greater than the pitcher value, then the \u003cem\u003ehighest\u003c\/em\u003e card matching the lead wins, and this player gets all cards played (again, positive points for colors, negative for thirst). In all cases, cards valued higher than the trick's pitcher card do not count toward determining whether the pitcher is full.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the trick is led by a thirst card, the highest thirst card wins, and that player takes all thirst cards played – so make sure you hold onto your low value thirst cards to avoid winning a thirst-led trick!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter three rounds, the player with the high score wins.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"5th Street Games","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":960348901,"sku":"960348901","price":8.01,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0274\/9631\/products\/The_Crow_and_the_Pitcher.jpg?v=1578608957","url":"https:\/\/www.vaibhavhospital.com\/products\/the-crow-and-the-pitcher","provider":"vaibhavhospital","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
