In Nutty Business, players start with symmetrical hands of cards. Each round, they add a card on one of the two piles in front of them and activate the effect on top of each pile. Card effects involve hoarding nuts, stealing from opponents, and disturbing their plans. Once someone has played out their whole hand, the player with the most nuts wins.
Even with only eight action cards, the game is surprisingly complex thanks to the variety of combinations and table dynamics to analyze.
