About the game
¡Caninos! es un juego de cartas de pizza en el que competirás para robar más pizza que cualquier otra persona. Sé el primero en alcanzar 50 puntos en porciones de pizza y ganarás el juego. Pero, ¿cómo? te preguntarás. ¡No te preocupes, estamos aquí para ayudarte! Contarás con las habilidades asombrosas de perros súper poderosos que están más que ansiosos por robar pizza para ti, ¡y son los mejores en ello! No solo pueden conseguirte pizza, sino que también pueden hacer trucos sorprendentes que dificultarán las cosas para tus oponentes y te pondrán por delante en el juego. Pero, ten cuidado: otros jugadores intentarán detenerte con trucos y cartas de reacción destinadas a asustar a tus perros. Juega con cuidado y usa los ingredientes a tu favor: podrás añadir ingredientes que aumentarán el valor de tus porciones de pizza, pero otros ingredientes lo reducirán... y si la situación se pone difícil y necesitas ayuda adicional, siempre puedes contar con los trucos especiales de los Sabuesos del Caos y las misteriosas artimañas de los (casi) todopoderosos Mapaches Místicos. ¡Caninos! es un juego familiar moderadamente estratégico en el que deberás evaluar tus posibilidades, tomar decisiones y gestionar tus cartas con sabiduría para convertirte en el mejor ladrón de pizza de todos los tiempos. —description from the publisher ¡Caninos! is a pizza card game where you will compete to steal more pizza than anybody else. Be the first to score 50 points worth of pizza slices and you'll win the game. But how? You may ask. Don't worry, we got you covered; you'll count on the amazing skills of super powerful dogs that are more than eager to steal pizza for you, and they're the best at it too! Not only can they get you pizza, but they can also do amazing tricks that will make things harder for your opponents and put you ahead of the game. Be mindful though, other players will try to stop you with tricks and reaction cards meant to scare your dogs away. Tread lightly and use toppings to your advantage: upgrade toppings will increase the value of pizza slices while downgrade toppings will lower it... and if push comes to shove and you need some extra help you can always count on the special tricks of the Hounds of Chaos, and the mysterious ways of the (almost) almighty Mystic Raccoons. ¡Caninos! is a mildly strategic family game where you'll need to evaluate your possibilities, make some decisions, and manage your cards wisely to become the greatest pizza thief ever. —description from the publisher
