About the game

What is Xander and the Dog Circus

Xander has always loved the circus, now that he’s seen a dog circus he plans to train his own pup to learn how to stand on its hind legs, walk a ramp, even jump through a hoop!

Players will be creating the best dog circus they can to impress Xander, but in order to do so, they will need to win tricks. In this trick-taking game the trump suit changes each hand, with 4 total hands being played. Players must follow suit, play a card from the matching suit of the original card that led the trick if possible. After all players have played a card the trick ends.

Winning the trick:

The highest ranked card matching the original suit played wins the trick and that player takes the cards. The player fills in a value of card onto a dog trick on their sheet. Tricks are worth points.
