Dog Tag Trick

From BoardGameGeek:

Dog Tag Trick is a trick-taking game to have your dogs compete in various events and win at a dog show. 1. Deal the dog cards. (3 players: 11 cards each / 4 players: 9 cards each / 5 players: 7 cards each) 2. Determine the lead player. Then, beginning with the lead player, take turns to play up to 2 cards. 3. If the lead player plays 2 cards, the lead player and subsequent players who follow suit and play 2 cards of the same type of combination can compete in the main event. However, you can still compete in the sub event by playing 1 card. 4. In the main event, the #1 and #2 players get 3 pts and 1 pt respectively. In the sub event, the #1 player gets 1 pt. 5. The winner of this mini-game (trick) will be the lead player of the next trick. 6. Play the tricks repeatedly until someone has exhausted their hand of cards (1 round). In the final trick, the #1 player in the main event gets 5 pts. (The #1 player in the sub event gets 1 pt as usual.) 7. The game ends after playing a number of rounds matching the number of players. Then the player with the highest total score wins. 「ドッグフェスティバル」に犬を色んな競技種目に出場させて優勝を目指します。 ①犬カード（3人：11枚、4人：9枚、5人：7枚）を配ります。 ②親を決め、親から任意のカードを最大2枚まで出します。 ③親が2枚出した場合、次のプレイヤーからは親が出した組み合わせの種類（＝役）をフォローしないとメインの得点争いに絡めません。但し、1枚出しならサブの争いに絡めます。 ④メインは1位（3点）と2位（1点）まで、サブでは1位（1点）のみ得点を獲得します。 ⑤このミニゲームを『トリック』と呼び、トリックの勝者が次のトリックの親になります。 ⑥誰かの手札がなくなるまでトリックを繰り返します（1ラウンド）が、この最終トリックのメインの勝者（1位）だけが5点を獲得します。（サブの1位は通常通り1点） ⑦プレイ人数分のラウンドの終了により最も合計点の高いプレイヤーがゲームの勝者です。 publisher's summary
