Capybara Cookie Club

About this board game

Capybara Cookie Club is a strategic card game for 2–5 players, with games lasting about 30 minutes. Take the role of a capybara hosting a tea party for South American animal guests, while secretly trying to keep as many biscuits as possible.

On your turn, play a card onto either of the two face-up stacks. Normally, its value must be exactly one higher than the card currently on top. A value 1 card can follow a 5, while matching values on both stacks create a special opportunity to play any value except 7.

Every card can also change the situation around the table. Use animal abilities to disrupt opponents, improve your hand, or move the capybara figurine and trigger token effects:

• Tapir: pass one card to the player on your left.
• Turtle: exchange one card from your hand for another.
• Armadillo: take an additional turn.
• Sloth: take the teapot.
• Anteater: make a selected player lose one biscuit.
• Capuchin monkey and toucan: move the figurine to the next or second-next token and use its effect.

If you cannot or do not want to play, draw the top card from the drawing stack. The round ends when a player gets rid of all their cards; that player draws a reward card and receives biscuit tokens matching its value.

During scoring, each player selects one highest-valued card for each animal type they own and adds biscuit tokens equal to the combined values to the common pool. If one or more players lose all their biscuits after scoring, the game ends. In Capybara Cookie Club, the winner is the capybara with the most valuable biscuit collection.
