You've finally found the pet of your dreams...but will you be able to look after it? You need to show those around you that you are 'The Best Pet Owner'. It won't be easy because everybody wants the title and will do whatever they can to get it...good luck!!! Mascotas is a game for 2 to 8 players where your objective is to ensure your pet gets all the care it needs and is neither angry nor ill. In order to win you must ensure that the face up big version of your pet card has all the 'cares' it needs in each of its corners (every pet needs specific 'cares' cards). You also need to ensure that your pet isn't angry or ill. The box contains a total of 78 cards divided into the following types: Pets: Hamster, Dog, Fish and Tortoise Cares: Wash, Home, Food and Fun States: Ill, Healthy, Angry and Happy Actions: Naughty boy, Police, Pet shop, Mad scientist, Tornado Description from the publisher (Spanish): ¿seguro que puedes cuidar a tu mascota?. Debes demostrar que eres el mejor cuidador dándole de comer, aseándola, jugando con ella y comprándole una casita, pero…quizás no sea suficiente. Los demás intentarán enfadarla, enfermarla y ¡hasta robártela!, llevando a cabo todo tipo de acciones. Mascotas es un divertidísimo juego para todas las edades que contiene 82 cartas, 4 cartas grandes de mascota, así como reglas de juego en español e inglés.
Mascotas supports 2–8 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Mascotas is 15–30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Mascotas for ages 4 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Mascotas has a complexity rating of 1.4 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
