Do you love adventure? Want to save endangered monkeys? Play this entertaining and unusual trick-taking game and join us in the jungle and experience the true story of the DOUCs! You will discover what it takes for them to survive.
2-6 players take turns being good rangers, nasty poachers or curious tourists, each of whom has different reasons for being in the jungle.
The Poacher will hunt the DOUCs, putting them in danger. Which in turn puts pressure on the Ranger.
The Ranger will risk it all to save DOUCs. Each unsaved DOUC is considered lost, and will have a negative effect on end-game scoring.
The Tourists will choose how they approach the DOUCs. Whether they save the DOUCs or put them in danger lies in their hands!
The player with the fewest lost DOUCs after the game wins.
Before starting each game the players must decide how difficult to make their game, as determined by the 3 DANGER LEVELs. Players may choose a single DANGER LEVEL, or they may mix and match DANGER LEVELs in each month of their game.
Each DANGER LEVEL adds new mechanisms and strategic depth to the game.
DOUC IN DANGER supports projects for the conservation of red-shanked DOUCs. It's a new kind of species protection!
