Power Hungry Pets (2024)

About this game

Power Hungry Pets is a reimagining of Love Letter, with players making a mad grab for power thanks to the animal powers they have on hand. Each card features a number and a hilarious way to backstab, steal from, or obliterate the other players. Players hold one card at all times, draw a second card during their turn, then must decide which to keep and which to play – requiring only one decision at a time. In the end, the player with the highest number card wins. —description from the publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 7 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
