Special cards allow players to steal or swap cards. The player with the most matches at the end wins, unless they are stuck with the losing Bearwoman Card.
This document provides an overview and instructions for the board game Tiny Robot Love Doctors. The goal of the game is for players taking on the roles of doctor robots to work together to remove tiles representing negative emotions (fear, rage, greed, gloom) from a patient's heart and replace them with love tiles. Players do this by using character ability cards and shape cards to match and capture tile arrangements on the game board. The game supports 1-4 players and includes different difficulty levels for managing monster tiles that appear. The game ends when the board is filled with love or no one can draw more cards, with the score determined by remaining love, cards, and hands.

Game description: outnumber is a number counting and matching game for kindergarten kids. It has numbers from 1 to 20. There are 3 cards in each number family corresponding to- numeral, number in words and number as count. Each card clearly displays a number, corresponding number word, written on it as words along with an intelligent picture evoking the image of the number. For eg. An octopus with 8 tentacles evokes the image of the number 8, a rainbow evokes the image of 7 and so on.

The document discusses Turkey's educational system from preschool through secondary school. It notes that preschool is available from ages 0-6 through both private and public institutions, with enrollment beginning in June. Primary education starts at age 5 and can begin at age 3 through private preschool programs. Secondary education involves students taking exams after primary school to be placed in their preferred high school types like Anatolian, Science, or Vocational schools. Student achievement is evaluated through exams, course activities, and individualized programs for some students. The school year typically runs from August to June but was adjusted for COVID-19.
Dance has played an important role in Greek culture since ancient times. Traditional Greek dances are diverse, varying between regions and villages due to different climates, lifestyles, and historical events. Some of the most well-known pan-Hellenic dances include the Syrtos, Tsamikos, and Balos. Music also varies regionally in Greece, with instruments like the bouzouki, baglamas, outi, and lyra accompanying traditional dances. Dance is used to transmit culture, history, and emotions and bring people together for important occasions.
Greeks approach food and meals as a social experience rather than just sustenance. Meals are leisurely affairs that can last for hours. A typical Greek meal starts with mezedes, which are small plates of appetizers to share family style. The cuisine emphasizes fresh, local ingredients like olive oil, bread, tomatoes, cheese, seafood and herbs rather than heavy sauces or exotic spices. While traditional Greek cuisine has evolved over time, it still focuses on simple preparations that allow the natural flavors to shine through. Modern Greek chefs now experiment with traditional recipes and ingredients to develop new fusion styles of cooking.
Greek food culture revolves around sharing meals with others. It is an important part of bonding and socializing. Two staples of Greek cuisine are olive oil and feta cheese, which are used extensively in cooking and considered essential ingredients. Greek meals typically include several small dishes that are shared by all, consisting of fresh vegetables, pulses, nuts, yogurt, cheeses, grains, fish and small amounts of meat. Dining out is a social event where meals last for hours, reflecting the ancient Greek tradition of symposia gatherings. While meals are usually late, sometimes not until after 9pm, Greeks may have a snack in the morning and lunch around 2pm.

2. INTRODUCTION
Zestrea is a Romanian boardgame about marriage
and negotiation in which you have to succeed
and get rich at the end of the game.
Game’s creators
3. Zestrea contains the following cards and a die, and it
is played as a tabletop game with most cards on the
table at all times:
84 villager cards (42 Lads and 42 Maidens)
80 Zestre/Land cards
35 Fate cards
15 Hard Times cards and 3 Good Times cards
6 Boyar cards for quick info and a 6-sided die
.
4. You have the role of a Boyar (=noble from
Romania), and as a Boyar you have a
Boyar's Estate.
The Boyar's estate contains some Land
and Villagers.You have to control the
villager's fate wisely!
Your villagers have to work on your Land and
produce more Zestre. Sometimes they can
expand their family by making babies and
have a wedding!
Zestre = Dowry
5. Each player begins with a married couple
and 3 lands to take care of.
You have to take 5 random Hard Times cards and put
on top of them 3 random Good Times in order.
Place the other cards The Fate cards,Villagers and
Zestre in the middle next to the Hard Times.They
belong to the state.
.
Zestrea
setup
6. Every turn, reveal a card from the Hard Times stack,
read it out loud and follow the instructions on it.
Boyars can choose to roll the die for any Couple that
has a Land.They produce Zestre and babies.
Reveal a Fate card from the State pile.The Boyars read
and auction it for Zestre.The first Boyar who places the
highest bid wins.
There comes the Wedding and Negotiations step and
the main part of Zestrea. Here, Boyars can negotiate,
play Fate cards, attempt marriages, in any order they
want.When all the Boyars are ready, they go to the
Food step.
All Boyars have to pay for the food! If the Boyar doesn't
feed the Villagers they will starve to death!
.
7. Each Boyar has the option to roll the die once for
every Couple that has a Land under their feet, or skip
some Couples if they don’t want to roll for them.
The Couples produce Zestre and babies, according to
the Production Table (also found on the Boyar cards).
In the unlikely event that the State runs out of Zestre,
you can flip the Zestre cards and count one Land in
hand as 4 Zestre.
Place babies sideways, because you don't have to feed
them for 1 turn and they cannot get married. Newborn
babies grow up at the end of a turn, after the Food
step. If you have already 7 single Villagers you cannot
make any more babies at Production.
.
8. Reveal one Fate card, read it out loud, and
start bidding. If a Boyar bids one Zestre, any other
Boyar can bid 2 or more to take it.The highest bid is
paid to the State.
The buyer can play the card immediately or keep it
for later. If nobody wants it, discard it and continue.
Keep in mind Fate cards can be bought for 2 Zestre, in
the Weddings and Negotiations step.
.
9. Boyars can try to marry two villagers of the opposite
sex, from different Boyars only. Certain Fate cards
allow same-sex marriages.
Wedding attempts cost 2 Zestre per die roll, payable
to the State.The Boyars can decide, per attempt, if
they pay one Zestre each, or one of them pays
both Zestre.
After the Zestre is paid to the State, the Boyars roll the
die, to see if the villagers want to get married. If the
die roll is one or two, the wedding is a success!
The Boyars cannot get their Zestre back after paying
it. If the wedding fails, they can pay for another
attempt, or give up.
.
10. .
After a successful wedding, the Maiden always
goes to the Lad’s Estate to form a Couple.The
Boyar who gave away the Maiden draws a Fate
card.
The base wedding chance is 1 or 2, and it can be
increased or decreased by Fate cards.
Wedding chances add up. For example, a
Musician at the wedding would add (+1),
therefore the die roll could be (1, 2, 3) for
a successful wedding.With two Musicians, (1, 2, 3,
4) and so on. Cards like the Evil Eye (-2) decrease
the wedding chances.
In this step, the Boyars can also buy or play Fate
cards, buy Land from the State, or adopt
villagers from the State.
They may also trade Fate cards with other Boyars,
or give and receive gifts of Zestre or Fate (but not
Land or villagers). =)
11. Fate cards can be revealed to other players or kept
secret, and they can be played once, anytime, in the
Weddings and Negotiations step. After playing the
Fate cards, discard them in a pile, face-up.
Timing is important! If you want to play a Fate card
that affects the chances of a wedding, you must do so
before the Boyars roll the die!
When the Fate cards in the pile run out, the
game carries on without them. Discarded Fate cards
must not be reshuffled.
You can only have 5 max.
Lands and minimum 1. Lands
cannot be sold!
.
Wedding
attempt=2 Zestre
Adoption=2 Zestre
Buy Fate Card=2 Zestre
Buy Land=4 Zestre
12. Each turn ends with Boyars paying for the villagers’
food.
The villagers (or Couples) with Land under their feet
are considered fed.Then, the Couples with no Land
eat a single unit of food each (one Zestre per Couple,
paid to the State), and so does each single villager.
Babies born in the current turn do not have to eat,
instead they grow up (turn their cards upright).
If the Boyar has no more Zestre and must feed the
Maiden.They exchange one Land for one Zestre to
pay for the Maiden’s food.
As a rule, a Boyar cannot lose their last
remaining Land.
Therefore, the last Couple of any Boyar can never
be lost or separated!
.
13. In the final turn, after the last Hard Time card
was drawn and played, you cannot buy any more Fate
cards.You can still play the ones in your hand, or get
them from weddings. After the final Food step, points
are calculated as follows:
Count your remaining Zestre.
Flip your Land cards and count them as one
Zestre each.
The Boyar with the most Couples gets +5 Zestre
when counting the points. If there is a tie for
the most Couples, nobody gets the +5 Zestre.
The Boyar with the most Zestre wins.
Congratulations!
In case of a draw, the Boyar with the most villagers on
their domain wins.
.
14. Now that you won the Zestrea I want to thank you for letting us teach you
about this game. It is a very cool activity and it is very fun and we
recommend it! You can find the game on Zestrea.net, the official website and
you can find their version in English! The creators of this game are very
nice and great people.That is why we want to thank them for letting us
use their pictures.They are hugging us virtually and so are we! Thank you
also for your patience and, Erasmus Team, see you next
time! Source: Zestrea.net
