## Description
In Spiky Go!, you and your friends step in as helpers for Spiky, a super diligent dog who needs to safely bring back the farm animals that have decided to make a break for it. Pigs, cows, and horses have vanished from the barn and are now scattered about. To get each one back, you'll compete in a fun and fast-paced challenge! 

Each round, four cards are revealed, showing which animals have been spotted and which players can attempt to rescue them. The magic happens when everyone plays simultaneously, secretly choosing which animal they want to capture using a hand signal, reminiscent of the good old Rock, Paper, Scissors. The trick is that the animals are clever, and if too many people try to catch the same animal, they might escape! If there's a tie and the animals can't be divided among the players, nobody gets them, and the critters remain free. 

But if you're the only one who chose a particular animal, congratulations! You get to take all the animals of that type back to the barn. At the end of each round, whoever has collected the most animals of a specific species earns a marker for their barn. The game concludes when someone fills their barn with 5 markers. Spiky Go! is an incredibly accessible game, perfect for families and anyone looking for a quick dose of fun with a touch of strategy and observation. Get ready for lots of laughs and quick decisions!
