The Core Game

3 Dog helping with a suspicious Big Human

The Board

Earth is easy. Big Humans are the problem.

36 spaces. One town. One very busy Dog.

Big Human encounters send Big Humans running toward Town.

If yours gets there: busted. Back 6 spaces.

Dog is shared by everybody. He is rarely close when you need him.

Three Decks. Three Kinds Of Trouble.

Big questions. Little curiosity. Alien solutions.

Big Human deck

Big Humans

Blend in. Answer ridiculous questions. Let your opponents judge you.

Little Human deck

Little Humans

Impress them. Little Humans are fascinated, helpful, and occasionally disastrous.

Space deck

Space

Cheat like an alien. Invisibility, teleporting, false memories, and Dog whistles.

Explore The Decks

Everyday humans. Unexpected questions.

Earth would be easy if it weren’t for the Humans.

Land on a Big Human space and draw a card. They’ll challenge you to do something completely ordinary.

At least, ordinary for a human.

One Dog, Shared By Everyone.

Dog belongs to whoever is desperate enough to sacrifice their turn. Roll two dice, race him to the Big Human, then choose whether to remove the problem or redirect it.

Dog caught your Big Human? You can send them to spot another player... only if you want to be a mean alien.

The closer you get to winning, the farther away Dog somehow seems to be.

Pick A Being. Get Around Earth. Get Home First.

Nobody has the same idea of how to behave human.

A family game of bluffing, racing, and extremely questionable human behaviour.
