Critters rules
The rules of Critters are similar to rock, paper, scissors, except that the game features four animals: an elephant, a mouse, a wolf and a cat.

- The Elephant beats the Wolf and the Cat
To win the game, you need to score more points in total than your opponent. You will receive 5 Relationship Points for winning a game, 3 points for a tie, and 1 point for losing, as a thank you for the time spent together.
How to win?
Critters is a game of chance and you have little control over what happens. However, it's worth keeping in mind a few rules that will slightly increase your chances of winning.
- Play the Elephant card often, whenever it is available - it beats two animals and is only weak against one.
- If you don't have the Elephant, play the Mouse - it's weak against the Cat, but beats the Elephant.
- If you don't have the Elephant or the Mouse, play the Wolf.
- Avoid playing the Cat, as it's beaten by the Elephant as well as the Wolf.
