Each player gets a house card with four cute animals to protect. Your mission? Gather all your critters before the wolf shows up! Cards are laid face down, and on your turn, you can flip over as many as you dare, hoping to find your animals. But watch out! Flipping a card you've already seen, or even worse, a wolf card, could make you lose everything you've collected that round. Oh, and there's a special clover card that can save you from the wolf! If you complete your house, you grab a new one and keep the hunt going. The game ends when all the wolf cards are revealed or when all animals are safe. Whoever has the most animal cards at the end wins! Plus, there's a cooperative mode where everyone plays together against the hungry wolf. Guaranteed fun for the whole family, with quick games and plenty of excitement! ## FAQ ### How many players can participate?
