Each player manages their own beaver lodge, collecting cards with high values to score points. Multiple copies of the same card grant bonus points. Cards can be swapped quickly, so the composition of lodges changes constantly. After the first player places five cards, everyone gets a final turn. The player with the highest total points after several rounds wins.
