About the game
A card game where players vie for control of dogs and cats and then fight for points by feeding them. The dog and cat cards are placed face up in the middle of the table. On their turn players place "ownership" cubes and then feed the animals with food cards. Cats like fish and dogs like bones (positive points). However, you can also feed your opponents dogs some fish and give their cats some bones (minus points)! Action cards also allow some special actions (e.g. swap ownership cubes, swap food cards, etc.)
