Players bid simultaneously with numbered cards to rescue puppies or take Cruella De Vil cards. The goal is to build the longest line of rescued puppies. Low bidders must take penalty cards, reducing their score. The game ends when all cards are claimed, and the player with the longest puppy line wins.
Who Is This Game For?
Designed for children aged 6 and up, this game offers quick, simple gameplay lasting about 15 minutes. No prior experience is needed, making it ideal for families and young players seeking an easy introduction to auction mechanics.
How It Works
Each round reveals a Puppy or Cruella De Vil card from the draw pile. Players simultaneously place bids using numbered cards (Auction / Bidding). The highest bidder wins the puppy card, while the lowest must take a Cruella card. Using Open Drafting, players choose bids strategically from their hand. At the end, the longest puppy line minus Cruella cards determines the winner.
