Adorable critters pile onto three otters as players race to be the first to empty their hand.

Gameplay

Be the first to get rid of your cards by playing them onto the otters, sometimes drawing to change which cards each otter will accept. The push-and-pull is deciding when to unleash a big run versus holding cards back so you don’t lose your momentum next round.
