This game is Japanese but is language-independent and English rules are provided as PDF's if they are not within the box.

Naja naja is a tense two-player, duel-style climbing card game inspired by the classic Japanese "Daifugo" (President) mechanic—ideal for people who want a strategic head-to-head experience. Each player aims to be the first to play all of their cards by matching numbers or playing runs of the same suit. Passing during a round allows your hand to be enhanced, setting you up for more powerful plays in future rounds—so losing a battle can set up a comeback! Unique to Naja naja, card strengths shift dynamically round-to-round according to the "trend" set by unplayed cards, keeping each duel fresh and requiring players to read both their opponent’s hand and the flow of the game. Even after a round is lost, the game continues, letting you carry over your improved hand and adapt your tactics. Outthink, outlast, and outmaneuver your rival in this evolving two-player showdown.
