Bones for the feeding bowl

Pugs want to grab bones, cats interfere. 56 cards show pugs or cats, plus always a certain number of bones. Each player receives a feeding bowl card and the Jostling cards are placed in a random order at the start; they determine the ranking and therefore the strength of cards in the respective colors, even for cat cards!

A round comprises several tricks; the leading player plays pug or cat; if a pug was played, you need to follow suit; if you cannot do that you can play any card; a cat can be played at any time, even if you could follow suit. When a cat card was led, there is no following color suit in this trick. Each player puts the card he played next to his feeding bowl.

Color ranking and card value within the color decide the winner of the trick; the winner puts the winning card on his feeding bowl; the player who played the card of least value changes the jostling order according to the card he played, discards the card he played and takes of the remaining cards that were played in this round; remaining cards go to the discard pile. If someone is out of cards, the round ends and all note the number of bones on cards in their feeding bowl plus one point for each card in hand. If you could not take a trick, you note the number of bones printed on your feeding bowl card. As soon as a card is placed on the feeding bowl, the bones on the feeding bowl card do NOT count! After three rounds you win with most points.

A cute game with a cute design and a sophisticated, interesting trick-winning mechanism - neat, easy, quickly played, well-made and attractive, to pug owners and non-pug owners alike!
