Other Schraumen bits:
I list the cards in 5 groups, each sorted alphabetically. The groups are:
There is also one JACKPOT card.
ALMOSEN / alms
If your funds are completely pruned, the reading out of this scroll provides you with an income support of 6 prunes from the garden.
BIG BAD POKER
You put 5 prunes into the garden. By that this game will come to an end at the moment when you will become a druid the next time. This scroll lies in front of you until then.
BUTLER
You are working for the richest Scrune and are paid a humble 2 prunes: Draw now a scroll from its hand which will be the only one it may read out, if allowed, in its next druid task.
DAS SCHWARZE AUGE / the black eye
You give expert advice about (examine, judge) the scrolls of an arbitrary Scrune. It pays you off with a tribute of 2 prunes.
ENTSORGUNG / waste disposal
The other Scrunes give you 1 scroll each which you burn together with this scroll without any other effect. For this commendable deed you take 4 prunes from the garden.
GEBURTSTAG / anniversary
Everyone gives you a scroll or a prune as they like.
GLUECK IM UNGLUECK / it could have been worse
You may read out this scroll only if you have the least prunes, but then it doubles them.
GROSSZUEGIG / generous
You give your two neighbours a scroll each.
KONSUMZWANG / compulsory consumption
You sell all your scrolls to your beloved Scrunes. They must buy them for a preferential price of 2 prunes each up to their maximum of 5 scrolls.
MAKLER / broker
Draw one scroll from the hand of the neighbour to your right, read it out, give it to the neighbour to your left and, get 1 prune from each of them.
MAEZEN / patron
The richest Scrune draws a scroll from your hand and thanks you with 8 prunes.
PFLAUMOROLL / prune-o-scroll
The scroll you once buy at an auction does cost no prunes, if you throw this credit scroll into the flames out of turn.
EINZUG INS NIRWANA / the move into nirvana
If you, at the end of the game, have renounced (given up) all prunes and only have this single Holy Scroll - YOU WIN!
HELLSEHER / the clairvoyant
Until you become druid again you may have a look at the scrolls from the temple that are offered at the auctions.
FESTIVAL DER MAGIE / the festival of magic
As long as you are the druid you shall take a new scroll straight away from the temple for each scroll you are going to read out. For this one as well.
GAERTNER / the gardener
Until the next druid ordination you receive all revenues from the garden and you pay its expenses. If you are pruneless the garden pays its own and your expenses. This scroll lies in front of you until the ordination occurs.
LOBENSWERT! / praiseworthy!
You restrict yourself in the future at a maximum of 3 scrolls in your hand. Now you may take up to 3 prunes from the garden.
LUXUSSTEUER / tax on luxuries
Everyone but you and your two neighbours decrease their fortune to a maximum of 12 prunes.
MACH MAL FERIEN! / take a vacation!
On the next turn you will refuse the druid's authority (duty). This scroll lies in front of you until then.
MITLEID / compassion
The game ends prematurely as soon as one of the other Scrunes has not got a scroll anymore.
NAU!
(Scrunish: njet; no; that's what you think; mei you; caramba; polser!) NAU! is played out of turn and and by that annulls the previously read out scroll. Both scrolls are then burnt.
PFAENDUNG / seizure
The Scrune to your left will receive the revenues from your next auction.
ROLLWERTSTEUER / tax on scroll value
Until your next druid ordination you get a prune from the garden for each read out scroll. This scroll lies in front of you until then.
SOZIALHILFE / income support
All Scrunes in need may increase their prune stock to 5 pieces.
SUPERDRUIDE
On this turn you are a superdruid and you may auction as many as 3 scrolls from the temple, one after another, instead of only one.
12 Pflaumen
You put back 12 prunes into the garden. If you then still have the most prunes the game immediately ends. Fantastic, isn't it?
