From BoardGameGeek

This is Planet etuC, where CUTE creatures live their life peacefully. See over there, that one is on the sea, dancing on a surfing board. That one is bathing in lava, and that is up in the sky, devouring the clouds. Wow, you think these guys are weirdos that don't look like any of the beings on your planet? Well, look at them again. Aren't they so Cute…oh no, very etuC?? About this game This is a climbing-ladder/shedding-type card game with the theme of ecosystem. This game is designed to be enjoyed by 2-3 players. Players play stronger cards than each other to win the game by getting rid of their hand. In this game, there are two types of card ranks: numbers and colors (symbols). At the start of a game, whether you are playing for numbers or colors hasn't yet been decided. If the subsequent card has a stronger number, you play by numbers, and if it is a stronger color, you play by colors. If you play a card with stronger number AND color, the rule remains undetermined, and the next player will have options to choose. To win, it is important to plan ahead and take control of the dynamic card strengths. Ambiente Abissal is a shedding game for 2 or 3 players, which is to say the first person to play all cards from their hand will be the winner of a round. The cards used in the game vary by player count, but there are an equal number of card ranks and suits, and each of these give the players a way to rank cards. That is, if a person plays an Orange 2, it could be beat by any higher ranked card (number) or any card of a higher suit (color). In addition to playing one card, the first player could play 2 cards (of the same number or same suit), which can be beat in similar ways. Play continues around the table with players playing 1 or 2 cards to beat the current high play or passing. Once all but one player has passed, the current trick ends and the last player to play begins anew. Once a player has played all of the cards from their hand, they will earn points, and when a player has earned a given sum of points, they are determined to be the winner.
