About the Game

Description from the publisher:

Gyrating Hamsters is a hilarious, fast paced, interactive, hamster themed card game. GH is designed for 2-5 players and takes about 30min to play. The object of the game is to grow your hamster horde to the hamster threshold.

Card Type: With 5 unique card types and numerous variations there is light strategy with heavy replayability. Card types include Horde Hamsters, Attack Hamsters, Actions Cards, Chaos Cards, and of course, the Gyrating Hamster.

Gameplay: Each turn consists of drawing and playing combinations of hamsters and actions to build your own Hamster Horde, while depleting other Hordes. At the end of their turn, players have the option of combatting opponents directly in winner-take-all battles.

Strategy: To be successful, players must balance building their horde, managing their hand, defending their hamsters, and attacking their opponents. The game is over when the threshold of hamsters is obtained by 1 player.
