WOOF DAYS & CAT DAYS (Quick, Easy Card Games for Younger Players)

0:00 Hey everybody, Kimberly here with Wolf Days and Cat Days, two very small card games that are for younger gamers or younger players that take about 5 to 15 minutes to play. The rules are pretty simple and I've got everything set up right here. Now, in one box, you're going to have two players and you're going to set up the seven uh of day of the week cards in front of each player from Monday to Sunday. And the week does not wrap around from Sunday to Monday, though, which I've already done. Then you're going to shuffle all the dog cards, deal five to each player, and put the rest of the stack in the center of the table face down to form the deck. Then taking turns, each player is going to either draw a card or play a card. And dogs must be played according to their rules. Um, unless it says on another dog, then game end. When any player's week is full, the game ends.

0:52 Add up each player's points, and the player with the highest points wins. Uh, if there is a tie, the tiebreaker is the one with the most dogs out of the week because one player may not have all their dogs there, which is going to be the case as a sudden death game. So, I've got everything set up here. I've got my stack here. I look at my cards and I have some special abilities like Fred's dog treats. Remove any top dog from any player area. So, I maybe want to keep that for a little bit later to remove a really high value card. groomers. Um, for my opponent, swap your Sunday dog with any player Sunday dog. And if you have dogs on top of dogs, you swap the entire stack. Now, this great Dane is really, really good, and I'd hate for him to get taken from me, but it's worth seven points. Play on any day in any area, but no dog can be adjacent when first placed. Let's get him out there anyway. So, I play that dog down anywhere I want and then I'm going to essentially um wait my turn and then maybe my player I would do Chihuahua five points. Play on any day but not next to a great Dane, German Shepherd or St. Bernard. So, this Great Dane I played, let's not put that Chihuahua next to him and let's take a look at this St. Bernard.

2:05 Play on top of one of your own dogs, then move that top dog to an empty space in another player's area. H interesting. So I can play on top of one of my own. Move it to an empty space in another area. Interesting. St. Bernard's pretty nice for somebody else. So play is just going to continue. Players taking a turn. I draw or play. They draw or play. And again, once you fill up all of your days of the week, you've got some really cute cards here. You got some Dalmatians. A stafy that says only on Sundays. You got a German Shepherd. We're zero, but you play on top of any dog anywhere. these little westies stuff toys and collies and bulldogs and dachshunds and mixed breed. The the artwork is really cute here. Um, and the gameplay is very simple. Cat Days works the same but with cats and with different kinds of cat things. So, if you are a dog lover, I would recommend Woof Days. If you're a cat lover, get Cat Days. But if you want something just a little bit juicier than both of these offer, which again is for six plus and takes about 5 to 15 minutes of simple draw or play cards, I highly recommend Good Puffers. Good Puffers takes about 30 minutes, plays two to five, and has some more complex um card abilities and pairings and combinations.

3:26 Every puppy play has a special ability, and the more pups of one type you collect, the more those ability powers up. If you're clever as your K9 companions, you'll be upgrade. You'll be able to upgrade your bones and claim victory. So, it's really easy to learn and play this game, but because the cards and the combinations are so varied, it's going to require some strategy, which I think is going to uh you know, outplay uh Woof Days. And then if you want both uh uh recommend for other card games uh with dogs and cats, I'm going to just say Dog Lover and Cat Lady from AEG. These are two favorites. These are always on my shelf. And I think um this has some really interesting mechanics. I love the way that there's an open display and players are drafting um the dog or the cat cards, whichever one you're playing with. Um and you have all of your different requirements and perhaps food tokens for each of these. So these are both going to be the 30 minute game as well. Um it says two to four players for uh cat lover, two to four players, sorry, cat lady, and then dog lover.

4:29 Same thing here. And these are going to be about 10 plus and I think the good puffers runs that high too for player uh age and for player count. So some other recommendations for again more advanced play than the really really straightforward basic play of woof days and cat days. But the more decks you get of those, the more players you can have. So it's not just solely a two-player game. It could be more than two players if you get more boxes of them. All right, that's going to be it for me. Go and pet a dog. Go and pet a cat if you can get them. Um, I will see you later. Bye.
