About the Game

Team up with your favourite pet to create the best winning sets in different point categories. From initial starting hands, players lay three card sets in front of random placed score point cards and then replenish. Deception and bluff occurs as to what sets are placed where. One card in each set is always face down.

But beware, you may be swapped a high point losing hand, or is it a winning hand you swap straight back without realising? Other dilemmas include: Do you play a weak set now to build a better one later? Which initial score points to play sets to?

Which opposite swap to make? Identifying key score point cards. How many sideway swaps do you make that would incur penalties? Whether to make a losing set to use in an opposite swap.

After the pets have completed their hands, the fur revealing showdown decides who will be Top Cat or Top Dog. Which clever pet would you be? A light fun fast paced strategy card game for two players. 8+. 5-8 minutes per round. Up to best of 5.
