What is Pumba?

Pumba is a fast-paced discard game played with a Spanish deck. The aim is to run out of cards before anyone else, using each special card to change suit, shake up the turn order, or make a rival draw. When you're down to one card, remember to call out «¡Pumba!» before playing your second-to-last card.
