The winner of the hand is now determined. The highest number card wins the hand. Note that the special “Downer” cards have a value of 3. If there is a tie with value of the cards, the suits break the ties in the following order: logo A beats logo C and logo E, logo C beats logo E.
Special cards
Soaring Rhino - when played this card is considered a higher value than any logo C or logo E card. It is considered a lower value than all log A cards since logo A could be considered its ancestor.
Logo C Downer and Logo E Downer - These cards are a value 3 of their respective suit They are considered a higher value than the regular 3 card in their suit. When these cards are played they also signifies that the lowest value card will win the next hand instead of the highest. Ties are still resolved in the normal way using the suits of the cards.
