Capybaras vs Pelicans is a lighthearted card game in which players guide cheeky capybaras safely to a hot spring while avoiding other players' pesky pelicans. Players can play capybaras from their hand or use a pelican to claim one from an opponent. But beware - until the capybaras make it to a hot spring, other players can steal capybaras back. Once all cards have been played, the player with the most capybaras safely at a hot spring wins the game. Strategic use of pelicans and timely hot springs can make the difference between victory and defeat. With a simple setup and fast-paced play, the game is suitable for a wide range of players. -description from the publisher
