About This Demo

About the Demo

Dive into the “Old Dog” mode against Bot players and get a taste of the horror-card game style; bluff, swap, and outsmart to avoid the dreaded Dog Card.

Stay off the dog’s radar!

Your only concern is to avoid ending up on the dog's menu.

How to Play:

  •  Initial Discard: After all cards are dealt, each player discards any matching pairs in hand.

  •  Turn Flow: Players offer up to two cards face-down for the next player to pick; if that player doesn’t trust them, they can request a third card.

  •  Pairing: Whenever you collect a pair, discard it immediately.

  •  Objective: Discard your hand as quickly as possible, while avoiding the Dog Card.

  •  Loss condition: At round’s end, whoever is stuck with the Dog Card is eliminated. Rounds repeat with remaining players until one survivor remains.
