HOg

Turning Your Cards Upside-Down!

Description

Hog uses a mechanic which card games rarely use - the orientation of cards. The game is easy to pick up, doesn't require you to pay your whole attention, and it doesn't need a surface to play on.
_______________________________________________________________________________

Your objective is to transfer as many of your cards as possible from your hand, to your pocket - The winner is the player with the most in their pocket when someone's hand becomes empty.

Each card has two effects, one on the top, and one on the bottom - Once the top effect is used, the card is turned over, allowing the effect on the other side of the card to be used. Using the second effect sends the card to your pocket, where it remains for the rest of the game (probably).

There are four different coloured backgrounds, each with effects subtly different from the others.

There's a total of over a hundred different effects in the deck, so It'll be a long while before the deck starts to seem repetitive

All of the rules are explained on two double-sided cards, with six spare cards to make your own. The main deck consists of 60 cards, plus extra cards to make sure each player starts with the same number of cards.
