Description
Power Hungry Pets is a reimagining of Love Letter, with players making a mad grab for power thanks to the animal powers they have on hand.
Each card features a number and a hilarious way to backstab, steal from, or obliterate the other players. Players hold one card at all times, draw a second card during their turn, then must decide which to keep and which to play – requiring only one decision at a time. In the end, the player with the highest number card wins.
