About the game
Based off of the Dog Man illustrated children's books by Dav Pilkey, this fast-paced card grabbing game sees players race to collect the most Hot Dog cards before their opponents. 64 cards (52 Hot Dogs, 6 Dog Man, and 6 Petey cards) are laid out face down spread across the table so that no cards are touching. Players take turns turning over a single card face up. If a Hot Dog card is turned over, nothing happens. If a Petey Card is turned over, all face up Hot Dog cards are turned face down. If a Dog Man card is turned over, players race to collect all face up Hot Dog cards on the table. Players may only use one hand and may only collect one card at a time. If the last card to be turned over is a Hot Dog card, players race to collect all remaining face up Hot Dog cards. Once all cards have been turned over, the player with the most Hot Dog cards is the winner.
