The cutie pie corgi pups just want to snuggle. They cluster and clamber, making adorable doggie pyramids. Sadly, it's not always so easy to climb and some pups will be left below the pile. But at the end of the day, for a little corgi pup, that may not be such a bad thing. After all, no one wants to fall off the top of a big corgi pileup! Corgi Pileup is a trick-taking game in which only the last trick counts. During each trick, you must “climb” by playing cards greater than or equal to the highest card played so far, or else play your lowest card. Each round, you score your final card and increase your score. Rounds are played until someone's score exceeds 15. All players whose score exceeds 15 lose, and the remaining player with the highest score wins. In the "Underdog Variant" the game ends as usual, but the player with the lowest score wins! -description from the publisher
