Worst Card in the Game?

Post by Pothast »

Hi,
I was wondering what people thought the worst card in the game was. For me, I think it is the Dog. Especially in a two-player game where the lowest and highest cards are constantly rotating.

Auto disqualifying beginner cards, I agree the dog is terrible in 2 player. But im gonna go controversial and say Elephant otherwise. Its too unpredictable. And without the right supporting cards that reward flipped cards, its just not worth it. Imo.

Only play 2 players but I think pig is one of the worst, it usually like those kind of cards but newer players always take it without thinking. It creates a big mess if isn't one of the later cards.
Dog is also up there. And after that is depending of your playstyle. I don't like snake, elephant and alligator. Alligator can work as a last card but I rather not.

Sheep is terrible. Eagle and dog are also lame.

I like the alligator, it makes you speed up your deck if it comes early.

I think I agree that is the dog, but I always have terrible luck with the elephant

Probably elephant unless you have a ton of can't be flipped cards. It really makes the game become kind of luck based for you

I think donkey is a good card, if you can pick it in the first or second turn. It gives you an early access to the middle or sometimes even high ranked cards and discards itself.

Elephant can also be helpful in your first rounds, but other than the donkey, you usually have to pay to discard it and it's more expensive. Of those two I'd prefer the donkey though.

I tend to avoid the cards that discard randomly and I never consider taking the dog (usually playing 2 player games).

I thought the Dog was the worst card too until I started paying more attention to how the rules changed its value in different situations. That made a lot more sense to me than just chasing the biggest number. In a two player game though, I still think the Dog is really hard to get value from.
