TABLEAU BUILDER CARD GAME

Rescue

Rescue is a tableau builder featuring 64 one-of-a-kind dogs and a whole lot of shenanigans. Compete with other players to rescue dogs, organize them into packs, and help them find forever homes. Rack up bonus points by appointing pack leaders, top dogs who unlock powerful combos in your rescue. But be careful — not all dogs are meant to be besties, and a bad pairing might cost you.

Do you have what it takes to manage the zoomies, wrangle the fur, and run the greatest dog rescue ever assembled?

Gameplay

The goal of the game is to score the most points by drawing dogs from the Dog Pile or deck and strategically arranging them in your rescue in groups (i.e. packs) to maximize points.

Each dog has a special ability that activates when you add to in your rescue or unique tricks they can perform during your turn.

Dogs who don't have a place in your rescue can be temporarily housed in your foster family, where they'll also get you bonus points depending on their personality.

Along the way, three Adoption Events will be revealed, which allows players to adopt out dogs to score additional points.

The player with the most points wins (but the real reward is the dogs you’ll meet along the way.)
