Dog Pile: The Card Game

Dog Pile is a fast, press-your-luck party card game where players build a shared pile of dogs and try to claim it at just the right moment. Play dog cards, jump in out of turn with matching dogs, and decide when to stop pushing your luck and claim the pile using one of your small dogs. On your turn, add a Large or Medium dog card to the growing central pile. When the timing feels just right, finish the pile with a Small dog to claim it and score. Each player only gets 4 Small dogs, so pick your moments wisely! If you have the exact same dog as the top card on the pile, you can interrupt with a “Dogpile!” to snatch control and play an extra card. This real-time mechanic keeps all players constantly engaged, so don’t blink! You’ll need good timing, a little nerve, and a lot of bark. —description from the designer
