Pick The Pug 2023

In this Game you go head to head with your friends for 3 Rounds, each of which ends with a Winner. Win 2 Rounds to be the Champion, or face the other Winners in a final Tie Breaker!

To win a Round you must gain possession of The Pug, while getting rid of all other cards in your hand. There is only 1 Pug in play at a time, so pay attention to who has it, and most importantly bluff: you shouldn’t let anyone know when you have The Pug!

Donkeys cannot be discarded in any way, so you cannot win if you have them in your hand. You must find a way to give them to your opponents as soon as you can!

All other cards in your hand are Monkeys. They are of 4 colors: Blue, Green, Orange and White. You must discard 2 Monkeys every Turn, and perform the Action corresponding to the colors of the pair. There are 6 Actions in total: use them wisely to get The Pug, give Donkeys away, or create confusion!

In addition, every Round is overseen by 3 Mythical Creatures and their super powers. Any player in trouble can summon a Mythical Creature to make an extra play, even outside their Turn. With their extraordinary abilities, Mythical Creatures will flip even the most incredible Rounds!
