In The Claw, players will play as someone who really likes toys and are competing with each other to get as many favourite toys as possible. Players will use a machine with the shape of a Claw to take the toys and along the way they will become more and more joyful due to the JoyPoints that are attached to their collected toys.
The Claw is a game for 2-4 players where players are competing to collect as many JoyPoints as possible. JoyPoint is the value stated on Toy Cards which are spread in the game arena; on Dream Cards that can be collected as set collections after its required conditions are fulfilled; and also on some Trick Cards.
In the process of collecting JoyPoint, be careful of your opponent’s Trick Card because you’ll be surprised how it can drastically change the course of the game.
Use the Claw standee to get as many toys as possible and become the winner through these 3 simple actions:
Play a Trick Card (Optional)
Move the Claw Standee and once it stops, take the Toy Card beneath it
Claim a Dream Card by creating a set collection (according to its required condition)
The game ends when there is one pile that ran out of Toy Cards.
Players then count all their JoyPoints. The one with the highest JoyPoint is the winner.
Some people say: Be fast and you’ll get it!
But, is this true? Let’s Play!'
