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.

  1. Play the Elephant card often, whenever it is available - it beats two animals and is only weak against one.
  2. If you don't have the Elephant, play the Mouse - it's weak against the Cat, but beats the Elephant.
  3. If you don't have the Elephant or the Mouse, play the Wolf.
  4. Avoid playing the Cat, as it's beaten by the Elephant as well as the Wolf.
