About this board game
Animal Poker is a 1988 card game for 4–8 players that takes about 60 minutes, set inside the constantly changing firm of Crazy & Co.
At the company, no position is secure. The boss’s chair can begin to wobble, and the journeyman may suddenly find themselves calling the shots. The workplace hierarchy keeps shifting, creating a changing contest for control among the players.
Each player is offered a job at Crazy & Co., but the company’s roles do not remain fixed. As positions change, players must keep track of who is rising, who is falling, and who may be about to take charge.
- Players: 4–8
- Playing time: approximately 60 minutes
- Release year: 1988
- Setting: the firm of Crazy & Co.
The central warning is simple: do not be the last one left sitting on your cards. That unfortunate player gets stuck with the dirty work and becomes the dishwasher.
Also released as Career Poker, Animal Poker turns changing company positions into the heart of its theme. It is a game about unstable status, unexpected reversals, and the pressure of avoiding the least desirable job at the end.
