Batak is a game that people play with a special deck of cards. The deck has different colored symbols on it, and each symbol means something different in the game. The goal of the game is to get rid of all your cards before the other players do.
When the game starts, each player is dealt a certain number of cards. Then, one card is turned face up in the middle of the table - this is called the "starter". The player to the left of the person who dealt the cards goes first. They must play a card with the same symbol or color as the starter, or they can play a special card called an action card.
Action cards do different things like changing the color or symbol of the starter, making the next player draw more cards, or skipping the next player's turn altogether. The game continues in this way, with each player trying to get rid of all their cards by playing them onto the starter pile or using action cards to mess with the other players.
The game can get pretty intense, with players trying to bluff and outsmart each other to win. But in the end, the player who gets rid of all their cards first is the winner!
