Animal Poker (1988)

About this game

Animal Poker, first released as Career Poker, offers each player a job at the firm of Crazy & Co. The positions within the company are constantly changing. So the boss's chair can start wobbling, and before you know it the journeyman is calling the shots. But beware! The last one left sitting on their cards gets stuck with the dirty work and is the dishwasher.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 4 to 8.
• Rules load. At 1.4/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
