The poodles are romping around in the park, a perfect chance for the cheeky fleas to hop on and use them as a handy means of transport. Of course, the clever poodles know this and try to avoid giving them any opportunity to ride along, easier said than done! Who in the end will be fortunate enough to have collected the fewest fleas?
During Poodle Taxi, you place cards (containing a color and an arrow pointing left OR right) in a row in the middle of the table. On your turn, choose one of three cards from your hand and place it face up in the row, according to these rules:
• If there is NO card of the same color in the row, you place the card to the left or right in the row.
• If there is another card of the same color in the row, you must place the card on top of it.
• In both cases: If the arrow on the card points towards other cards in the row, you must take these as negative points (fleas).
The game ends as soon as the draw pile is used up. Whoever has the fewest fleas wins!
