Published in Game of Life Mechanics 2 mins read

When you land on a "Pet" space in The Game of Life, your next action involves drawing a special card that dictates a unique pet-related event.

Here's a breakdown of the steps and what to expect:

The Pet Card Action

Upon landing on a "Pet" space, follow these specific instructions:

  1. Draw a Pet Card: Take the top card from the "Pet" deck.
  2. Read Aloud: Announce the card's contents to all players.
  3. Perform the Action: Immediately carry out the instruction written on the card. These actions can be varied and often whimsical, reflecting common pet behaviors or scenarios.
    • Examples of actions include:
      • "Passing obedience school"
      • "Eating homework"
  4. Keep the Card: Hold onto the "Pet" card. It will have a monetary value that is tallied at the end of the game, contributing to your final score.

Understanding Pet Cards

There are a total of 15 unique "Pet" cards in the deck, each presenting a different scenario or action for the player. These cards add an element of unpredictability and fun to the game, as each landing on a "Pet" space brings a new, often amusing, pet-themed event. The value they hold at the game's conclusion encourages players to collect them, adding another layer to their strategy for accumulating wealth.
