PLAYED FOR YOU

Beasty Bar

Animals lining up at the door!

Animals big and small jostle for entry to the party at the Beasty Bar, and of course you want your own animals to attend in full force. The game comprises 12 cards for each player. You draw four animals, the rest is face-down personal draw-pile. The cards for Heaven’s Gate and Exclusion for Start and Finish of the Jostling Area; the cards for Beasty Bar and That’s It are placed next to them. In your turn you play one card open-faced to the end of the queue; then you implement the effect of this - each animal has another action, for instance the hippo pushes all animals back but the zebra, the snake causes the animals to arrange themselves by strength and two monkeys in the queue send hippos and crocodiles to the That’s It card. Then you implement „permanent“ action - for hippo, crocodile, zebra and giraffe the action is done in each turn, but for the giraffe only if it was not the card played in your turn. After that you do the entry check at Heaven’s Gate: When there are exactly five animals in the queue, Heaven’s Gate opens for the two animals in front of the queue, they are placed face-down on the Beasty Bar card. The fifth animal in the queue is ousted and placed face down on the That’s It card. At the end of your turn you draw one card from your pile. When all animals have been played, you win with most animals on the Beasty Bar card. There is also variant with point values for the different types of animals.

The right animal in the right place and it will end up in the bar! A bit of luck when drawing cars and clever use of animal actions and your chameleon will be the monkey in front in this clever, little game.
