Doggy Scratch

Why does everything itch? I can't stop scratching! Oh no! Are those... fleas? Use your cards to get rid of them and pass them on to your opponents. Be smart and get rid of as many fleas as you can, but watch out for veteran fleas, because they are tricky customers. Be the dog with the least fleas at the end of the game and win. Are you starting to feel your whole body itch? When it is their turn, the player plays as many action cards from their hand as they want. Once they have played, they decide whether to draw 1, 2 or 3 cards from the deck and they say this out loud. Next, they draw the number of cards they have said, one after the other. They put the action cards they have drawn into their hand and the flea cards in front of them. The player's turn then ends and they cannot play any more cards. The turn passes to the player on the left. The game ends as soon as one of the players collects 5 flea cards in front of them. That player cannot win the game. The rest of the players count the number of fleas they have on each card, and whoever has the fewest wins the game. If there is a tie, the player who has the fewest veteran fleas wins. —description from the publisher
