Description

In Sen (English: "Dream"), the goal is to minimize the total value of your cards; however, you don't know what all your cards are at the beginning of the game. By using certain cards to peek at your own or opponent's cards, or swap cards with your opponent, you can try to minimize the value of your cards. When you think you have the lowest value, you can call end the round. If your value is not the lowest you receive a penalty. Rounds repeat until someone has scored 100 points, at which point the player with the fewest points wins.

A game in the Golf family, it combines elements from Rat-a-Tat Cat and Cabo.
