In a silly animal showdown, players try to dodge collecting cucumbers and end the game with the fewest.

Gameplay

Over four short hands, you play one card each round, take the pile based on whether high or low wins, and try to finish with the fewest cucumbers. The catch is that the win condition can flip mid-hand, so you’re constantly guessing when to push and when to bail out.
