Board Game - Royal Pet Battle

"Royal Pet Battle" – is a fun party game from the creators of the famous and beloved "Exploding Kittens". Here, each round turns into a rapid clash of numbers and cunning abilities. It all starts with one card and ends... with that same card – and it better have the highest number among all those gathered at the table! Because if you want to win, you don't need to be a genius: your card just needs to beat all the others. What's the complexity (and the most fun)? The extra cards you will play! Knock out opponents from the game, steal cards, create chaos on the field – or, on the contrary, defend against attacks. Sounds easy, right? It's all clear in words, but the opponents are also not idle and are just waiting to set some card trick on you...
The board game is perfect for those who love quick, tough, and fun confrontations, where the winner is decided at the last moment. Who will manage to outsmart everyone else and survive?

Start by dealing one card to each player, discard one more, and place the remaining cards face down in the center of the table. Choose the first player in any convenient way – and get to the fun!
 
Then it’s simple: on your turn, take a new card from the deck. Now you will have two and you need to decide which one to keep and which one to play. The actions of the cards can vary greatly. Some will help you get closer to victory (or even instantly become the winner – for example, if you have the "Royal Beast-Sucking Robot", and another player has the "King of Cats"), others – knock an opponent out of the game, and others can make your life harder. Whatever you get, remember: first of all, it’s important to try to keep the card with the highest value, because that’s how you will be able to beat your opponents’ cards when the round ends!

The conditions for the end of a round are simple: it will happen when it’s someone’s turn to draw a new card, and there will be nothing to draw. In this case, reveal your hands to each other. The owner of the card with the highest value wins and receives a victory token. Shuffle the cards and start a new round. Repeat the process until someone collects 2 or 3 (depending on the number of participants) tokens. What to do when that happens? Celebrate the winner – and optionally play another game!
