Two rival dentists, one poor patient with three aching teeth. In this charming and deceptively tense card game, you ll compete to prove your dental prowess. Each round, you ll declare how many cavities you can cure, but only one of you will walk away with bragging rights. The clinic may look friendly, but the treatment room is a battlefield. Sanbon no Mushiba ("Three Cavities") is a must-follow for two players built on bold bids and precision play. Using a compact deck of just 10 unique cards, players first declare how many of the three "cavities" (tricks) they believe they can win. The higher bidder reshuffles and redraws a limited number of cards, adding risk to their confidence. Tricks are resolved with a rotating trump system and clever bluffing. To win, you must fulfill your declared number of tricks... no more, no less. Miss your bid, and your rival wins by default.
