Aim of the Game
Become the victor and the envy of all your friends by collecting one pug-filled mug of each pattern.
Setup
Deal each player two cards from the Pug Deck.
Player's Turn
On your turn:
- Take two actions.
- Draw a card
- Play a Mischief card
- Exchange Pugs for a Mug
- Steal a Mug!
- End turn (discard cards down to five).
Actions
Perform any two of the following actions. Actions can be performed twice.
Draw a Card
Take a single card from the top of the Pug Deck and add it to your hand. If there are no cards left, first shuffle the discard pile thoroughly, then turn it into the new Pug Deck.
Play a Mischief Card
Reveal a Mischief card from your hand! Do the action on the card and then place the Mischief card face up in the discard pile.
Exchange Pugs for a Mug
Take any three Pugs of the same colour from your hand and exchange them for a Mug of a matching colour.
Place your Mug face up in front of you, where you can admire it often. The cards you exchanged for it go face up into the discard pile.
No taking more than one Mug of the same colour, though. That would just be rude!
Steal a Mug
You may place one Pug of every colour from your hand face up into the discard pile, dazzling another player with such a varied display of adorableness that you are able to steal one of their Mugs. It cannot be a Mug of a colour you already have, or the final Mug you need to win the game!
Ending Your Turn
Once both actions have been played, check your hand to see how many cards you are holding. Discard cards of your choice until you hold only five.
Card Sets
As well as colours, each of the five sets also has a pattern for easy identification. Inclusive puggy fun for all!
Mischief Cards
Mischief cards let you change play to your advantage while bamboozling and annoying opponents. There are three kinds in the Pug Deck:
- Surprise! — Choose a player and randomly discard a card from their hand. This card can be played at any time, even out of turn, without using an action.
- Gimme — Choose a player and name a colour or Mischief card. If the player has that card in their hand, they must give it to you.
- Dig — Name a card type or pattern. Search the discard pile for a matching card and add it to your hand.
Component Notes
- The Pug Deck holds the Pug cards and the Mischief cards.
- The Mug Deck holds the five Mug cards needed to win — one of each colour and pattern.
- No more than the Pug Deck and Mug Deck is needed for pug-tastic fun.
