Welcome to Patas Arriba, where the pond is total chaos, and nothing is in its place! In this quacky, fast-paced game of reflexes, you'll throw cards to knock down rival ducks while defending yourself from flying flip-flops, axes, and anything else that comes your way. Duck Up and cover-no one is safe! The game ends when a duck has been knocked down five times, but the real champion is the one whose duck has avoided the card storm the best. Are you ready to Duck Up into this pond and emerge as the last duck standing? - description from designer ¡Bienvenido a Patas Arriba, donde la charca es un caos total y nada está en su lugar! En este juego de velocidad y reflejos, lanzarás cartas para derribar a los patos rivales mientras te defiendes de chanclas, hachas voladoras y cualquier cosa que venga. ¡Nadie está a salvo! La partida termina cuando un pato ha sido derribado cinco veces, pero el verdadero campeón será aquel cuyo pato haya soportado mejor la tormenta de cartas. ¿Estás listo para sumergirte en esta alocada charca y salir como el último pato en pie? - description from designer (spanish)
