Roda de Samba

A light card game, yet strategic and planned, Buy cards or download an instrument in hand. Match the suits at every turn, And spread the samba for all to learn. With a good combination, you'll get ahead, Instruments of strings and percussions to be led. Spend an action to invite a sambista friend, And with them, build up your score to no end. In your samba circle, you have autonomy, But be careful not to break the harmony, For a crossed samba is a big irony, It hinders strategy and melody. Last but not least, keep your eyes open wide, For the malandros* who bring along an interesting side, Adding interaction and excitement to the ride, Making the game even more of a pride. An specific kind of "trickster", in Brazilian culture, associated to marginalized population from suburbs where the samba grew. —description from the publisher
