Read the full game description

The animals are dressed up and ready to enter the "Beasty Bar" nightclub. Who will actually make it through the door? Beasty Bar is a fun "take that" card game about party animals. The players play animal cards into a line, and each animal has a special power that can manipulate the order of the cards. Whenever five animals are present at the end of a turn, the two animals up front get to party while the one at the rear has to go home. Whoever manages to send more of her animals to the party than anyone else wins.
