Card game and card game board
Abstract
The present disclosure describes a card game called “Tunsh” and a game board designed for the Tunsh game. The Tunsh game shares some features of the Solitaire type of games but also includes new elements that make Tunsh more exciting and challenging. The game board includes multiple positions specifically designed to place playing cards during the Tunsh game. The players take turns to release the cards in his/her possession and build up ascending or descending card sequences in the playing field on the game board. At the same time, each player may also burden his/her opponent with extra cards and call out the opponent's error. The Tunsh game and the game board are ideal for both casual entertainment and serious competition.
