About Big Five

In Big Five, players are trying to get rid of their animal cards by adding them to the tableau in rows and columns, building sets of matching colors or animals. A set contains a maximum of 5 cards. A player adding the fourth or the fifth card (-> Big Five) to a set is given a bonus (discarding card(s)). The first player to have no cards left on their pile wins the game.
