About the game

What you do in a play session

Hodge Podge Dodgeball is a fast-paced and fun card game set in the village of Longcoat, England, where raccoons compete in the Dodgeball League Championship! Here, you and your friends form teams and try to avoid getting hit by the balls — that is, avoid taking tricks. Each round starts with players setting up their benches with the cards they have in hand. During the game, you compete in tricks that can involve actions like catching, dodging, or blocking balls. But beware: your cards are your life! If you get hit, you'll have to send a card (a raccoon) to the bench. If you run out of cards or can't make a valid play, your team loses. It's a game of strategy, hand management, and teamwork, with a dash of chaos and lots of fun!
