About the game

It's the final day of the annual Canine Club Dog Show and the tension is palpable. All of the dogs that have made it to the finals are champions, but they're feeling the need to release some steam. Maybe if they all agree to misbehave just a little bit, one of them can still win the top prize! Worst In Show is a must-follow trick taking game with opportunities to switch to may-follow, with restrictions. This game is an update of Mashikamaru’s Iyados, which was released at the Tokyo Game Market in 2022. It features a new scoring scheme and all new art by Beth Sobel.
