Roda de Samba

A light card game, yet strategic and planned,

Buy cards or download an instrument in hand.

Match the suits at every turn,

And spread the samba for all to learn.

With a good combination, you'll get ahead,

Instruments of strings and percussions to be led.

Spend an action to invite a sambista friend,

And with them, build up your score to no end.

In your samba circle, you have autonomy,

But be careful not to break the harmony,

For a crossed samba is a big irony,

It hinders strategy and melody.

Last but not least, keep your eyes open wide,

For the malandros* who bring along an interesting side,

Adding interaction and excitement to the ride,

Making the game even more of a pride.

An specific kind of "trickster", in Brazilian culture, associated to marginalized population from suburbs where the samba grew.
