Tower Of Pancakes!! (タワー・オブ・パンケークス‼) is a trick-taking card game from Japan.
Cute cats love pancakes! Bake pancakes well, serve them, and aim to become the best-selling pancake maker!
There are 4 cats (A to D) waiting to be served pancakes. If they get more than 8 pancakes in a stack, the surplus becomes negative points. Except cat D, who is a glutton, and just makes more stacks of pancakes.
The players have chips of batter which are turned into cooked pancakes. The game follows standard trick-taking rules. The 1st & 2nd winners of the trick supply pancakes to the cats. The loser of the trick cooks their batter into pancakes according to the card they played.
When the tricks are played out, a final score is calculated based upon where players placed their cooked pancakes, minus penalties for over-supply.
The game has two variants in the rules; one for a different style of hand management, and one for an extreme supply of pancakes.
