Fetch a wave with champion surf dogs Kelly Slobber, Riptail, and Jeff Spicollie in this totally bone-dacious card game. Get the most dogs on surfboards by cashing in sand dollars to retrieve cards. Roll over to the Dog Shack for a chance at collaring another player’s cards. But watch out, greedy gulls may snatch your cash or a monster wave might cause a major wipe out. The player with the most complete surfboards is the top dog.

This is a very fun game for kids! The game consists of a stack of Surf cards, a stack of Surf Shack cards, wooden sand dollars and a special die (with numbers 1, 2, 3, and a Surf Shack). There are three types of Surf cards -- the front of a surfboard, the middle of a surfboard (with a surfer dog on it -- all of the dogs are different) and the back of the surfboard. The goal of the game is to build a certain number of complete surfboards. One way to get Surf cards is to buy them with sand dollars. One way to get sand dollars is to roll the die -- you get as many sand dollars as the number on the die. And then the Surf Shack cards -- Wipeout, Snag a Surfboard and SeaGull -- mix everything up. Depending on the Surf Shack card and what you roll on the die after getting a Surf Shack card, you either get sand dollars from opponents, get to take Surf cards from opponents or lose some of your own Surf cards.

On one occasion, I played the game with an 8-year-old girl and 6-year-old boy. Both enjoyed the game immensely and grasped the rules of the game well. On a separate occasion, I played the game with two girls -- one 9 and one 4. The 9-year-old thought the game was a LOT of fun. Although the 4-year-old needed guidance all the way, she thought it was a lot of fun too.

Our family enjoyed playing this game over the holidays. It is more fun with 3 or 4 players than just 2. It has just enough strategy to make it interesting for adults but is easy enough for most school age kids to play. Not much educational value though.
