ダンダンダン dan … dan … dan The hilarious shoot- em-up card game for 2 to 4 players aged 14 and up. Say good-bye to your old, boring identity and find yourself as member of the Tekiya! They form Japan s more or less honourable group of food stall operators and hucksters. Once they ve paved the way for the notorious Yakuza, but no need to retire: the Tekiya are still around and active today. And, of course, they are all one big family . Except when talking money. Then they suddenly all turn into greedy bastards. And now this: Ichien san of the kakigori stall claims to make the best shaved ice, while all the other guys merely hawk inferior crap. Man, that means trouble! Anyone who publicly puts himself above the others is breaking law and order. No Tekiya will ignore that. But should you make a snitch out of yourself at the Oyabun and in the worst case lose your finger, Yubitsume style? No way! Breaking taboos is something you only do among yourselves – in an ominous corner of the park. And then, then, then it s dan ... dan ... dan! Which in our simple translation means Bang, bang, bang! . Here s the good thing: Whoever survives the shootout of the gun toting brawlers will have a few more food stalls in the near future. IN PLAIN LANGUAGE: WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT? Quickly and in turn, you turn over cards from your own stack and place them face up in the centre of the table. There, a full arsenal of handguns accumulates. Every time a loaded gun is pointed at two of you with its grip and barrel, a shootout takes place. If you are shot – or make a mistake beforehand – you are punished and must take all the cards from the centre of the table. You grease the police with the top card, the rest go face down under your stack. Then you continue the game by turning over a new card. And on it goes... The first player who has no cards left, wins the game. In addition, various abstruse special cards fuel future game rounds and keep the game challenging. What more could you wish for?
