Key Features

Capture animal cards on the Gingham sheet

The game is set in the “Gingham Kingdom”. Animals that want to make friends are waiting for you. Each player aims to get the most animals, and the battle is on!

Animals that are sandwiched between the same animal become friends and belong to that player. However, you must not leave any animals alone and isolated. They are all lonely.

The cards are the cute butts of 8 different animals

An important role: Coco the dog

The most lonely of all is Coco, the wooden dog token.
He is always somewhere in Gingham, guarding the animals around him so that they are not taken away by the players.
Can you tame and control Coco?

But, should the dog Coco block you or if taking the cards leaves another card on its lonesome, you miss out.

Manipulate Coco wisely!

There are times when you can move Coco, so when the opportunity comes to you, it would be a good strategy to move it to a position that will cause your opponent trouble.
