THE DECK
Players share a Common Deck. 
The Deck has 9 Suites: Title, Attribute, Ability, Animal, 
Ally, Locale, Object, Action, and Foe. 

SETUP
Shuffle the Deck. 
The player who is the most built is the first Leader.
The leader deals each player 5 random cards. 
Next, spread the remaining cards out over the middle of the table face down. 

TURN SEQUENCE
In a sing-song fashion the leader says the first line of the Tarzantra. 
Play proceeds (clockwise) to the left. 
The first player to his left gets to play a Title card from his hand if he has one. 
If he does, the he keeps the card face up in front of him in his personal 
Victory pile and he draws a face down card and puts it into his hand.  
(He must also say the name of the card to complete the line of the poem)
If he does not have a Title card, he must look at one face down card on the table. 
He may keep it, or leave it and put a different face down card into his hand. 
If he had to draw a card, the next player to his left (this could be the dealer) gets a 
Chance to play a Title card to complete the line. 
This continues until someone plays a Title card. Once someone does, the 
Leader speaks the second line of the Tarzantra. The player who played the 
Title card gets the first chance to finish the second line with an Attribute card. 
This continues line by line, until the full Tarzantra is completed. 
When the Tarzantra is complete, the player to the Leader’s right becomes the new Leader. 
The game ends when 5 Tarzantras have been completed. 
(Or 3 for a short game, or 7 for a long game)
The player with the most Victory cards at the end of the game wins. 
The Winner must let out a Loud chest-beating Tarzan style Cry.
