Olenon
Olenon is a 4-player shredding game, in which two teams attempt to outsmart their opponents by getting rid of all their cards first. In a single game round, each player is dealt 7 number cards, and with the turn order alternating between teams, plays one or more identical cards from hand. Once one of a team's players is completely out of cards, that team scores a point. The first team to score a total of 2 points wins the game.
While playing, each team can freely talk about cards in their hands and discuss strategies. However, this must be done in the open, so that the other team hears what's being discussed. Figuring out how much information to share with your teammate without giving too much away is part of the game!

Rules summary
Overview

6x0, 5x1, 5x2, 4x3, 4x4, 4x5, 4x6,
The goal of each team is to win two rounds by having one of the teammates go out by getting rid of his/her cards.
It's allowed to reveal any information to your teammate, but it must be done in the open, so that the other team also receives it.
Gameplay
At the start of a round, each player is dealt a hand of 7 cards from the deck. The remaining deck is not used in this round.
Then, the game proceeds with each player taking an action in clockwise turn order. The available actions are:
- 🎴 Play one or more cards with the same value from hand to the table. If there are already cards on the table, the newly played cards' value must be the same. In any case, there cannot be more than 4 cards on the table at any time.
- 🎴 Replace the cards on the table with the same number of cards of a higher value. As an exception, 6s can be replaced with 0s. The previous cards are discarded.
- 🎴 Pass by taking one of the cards from the table, placing it face up near your hand. Passed player doesn't take any more turns until the end of current trick.
A trick ends when either there are 4 cards on the table or both players from one of the teams have passed. When this happens, any passed players take the corresponding face up cards into their hands, and all cards of the current trick remaining on the table are discarded. Finally, play continues with the player who was the last to play any cards.
When one of the players plays the last card from hand, his/her team immediately wins the round. If no team has won two rounds yet, the deck is reshuffled and the game continues with the next round.
Game End
The game ends when one of the teams wins a total of 2 rounds.
