About the game
What you do in a play session
Get the treats ready, because Salsicha is here to shake up your game night! If you're a fan of card games that you can learn in two minutes but can turn into a high-stakes strategic battle among friends, you've just found your new obsession. The goal is simple, yet tricky: you need to assemble the famous 'combina-cães' (dog combos) using the cards in your hand before your opponents beat you to it.
The gameplay flow is super snappy. At the start of each round, everyone gets 5 cards, and the controlled chaos begins with an open discard pile and a few ready-made combinations on the table. On your turn, the choice is yours: draw two cards (from the deck or the discard pile) and you must discard one. But watch out! Some cards feature special 'head' or 'tail' effects that can completely shift the momentum of the game.
The game operates in rounds: once you successfully complete a combo using all the cards in your hand, you 'go out,' ending the round and securing your points. However, the ultimate prize—and the shortcut to instant victory—is assembling the legendary 'Perfect Salsicha.' If you pull this off, the game ends immediately and you claim the title of the ultimate dog lover! It's a light, language-independent game, perfect for a quick filler or something you can toss in your bag to play anywhere. You can play it totally chill or with a dash of strategic mischief to block your neighbor's combo. It's pure fun for the whole family!
