たぬきはもうおしまいですトリテ (The Tanuki Is Done For)

Description

You are hunters. Your goal is to catch the bears coming down from the mountains. But for some reason, there is a tanuki inside the bear cage… The tanuki saw the bears coming down from the mountain and thought, “Maybe if I disguise myself as a bear and follow them, I’ll get some food too.” However, the tanuki is rather foolish, and it was lured in by the food inside the cage and got caught. Startled, the tanuki reverted to its original form. The hunters opened the cage and told it, “You’re a tanuki, so go back to the mountain.” But the tanuki refused to come out, saying: “It’s all over for me…” The hunters were very troubled… There is a story like this. Have you heard it before? Score points by using cages that, for some reason, contain tanuki as lids. But if there’s no cage, or if you catch bears after closing the lid, you lose points. A classic must-follow trick-taking game with trump.
