About Pack of Flies

12 cards (with positive, negative, and special powers) are revealed one after the other. Each time a card is revealed, the players try to acquire it by secretly choosing a number of flies(each player starts with 5 black plastic flies), and guessing the total number of flies chosen by all of the players. The used flies become the reserve in the middle of the table.
