About the game
Watch that first step as it's a doozie! Live the events of Groundhog Day over and over again as Phil Connors. Each day in Groundhog Day: The Game, you attempt to play cards quickly and in order without communicating to the other players before time runs out. Help Phil on his journey from cynical weatherman to friendly, local townsfolk by learning skills like playing the piano. Every card depicts memorable people and places of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania from the movie. Help Phil escape the Groundhog Day time loop by living the perfect day! —description from the publisher
