Winston (2018)

About this game

Collect the longest dachshund possible! In Winston, players compete to collect as many dogs as possible. There are six types of dogs: the fireman, the cosmonaut, etc., and the longer the dog, the more points you get. Will you wait to collect a longer dog, or will you try to collect it before another player snatches it in front of you? On your turn, you have to play 2-5 cards, adding heads and bodies. The player who collected last the longest dog gets a wooden bone, giving extra points. The player with the shortest dog receives the wooden poo, giving minus points.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 6 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
