ANIMAL GAMES

Animal Games are brand-new card, dice, and checkerboard games. Each game is associated with an animal. All game rule booklets have a picture of an animal or animals on the title page. Most have an animal in the game's name. Some such as Birds On A Wire have animal qualities -- the cards are laid out "like birds on a wire". Others such as Crabs On A Blanket use playing pieces to represent animals.

You will find free rules for a number of Animal Games here. New games will be added over time.

(Inexpensive Animal Games rules booklets are also available from The Payloadz Store.) See the "For Sale" page for details.
