Turning over a card — The current player has turned over a Hot Dog card.

Cards of Dog Man The Hot Dog Card Game

Hot Dog

If you flip over a Hot Dog card, keep it face up. Your turn then ends.

Dog Man

When a Dog Man card is flipped over, all of the players should start picking up the face up Hot Dog cards on the table. You are trying to pick up as many of the cards as you can.

Some rules you need to follow when grabbing Hot Dog cards are as follows:

You can only use one hand when grabbing cards.
Players can only pick up one card at a time. You must put each card in your own score pile before you can pick up another card.

When all of the face up Hot Dog cards have been taken, the current turn ends. The instructions don’t specifically say what you do with the Dog Man card. I am guessing you discard the card at the end of the current turn.

Should a Dog Man card be flipped over and there are no face up Hot Dog cards, discard the Dog Man card.

Petey

If you flip over a Petey card, the players flip all of the face up Hot Dog cards so the pictures are now face down. The cards should be left in their current location so players can use their memory to try and remember where there are Hot Dog cards.

After players have flipped over all of the Hot Dog cards, the current turn ends. The game does not specifically mention what happens with the Petey card at this point. I would assume you discard the Petey card.

Should you turn over a Petey card and there are no face up Hot Dog cards, discard the Petey card and the current turn ends.

Winning Dog Man The Hot Dog Card Game

Players will keep taking turns until all of the Hot Dog cards have been taken by one of the players. If the last card is flipped over and it is a Hot Dog card, all of the players race to grab the remaining face up Hot Dog cards.

Each player then counts up how many Hot Dog cards they collected during the game. The player that collected the most Hot Dog cards, wins the game.

Winning Dog Man The Hot Dog Card Game — The players acquired the following Hot Dog cards during the game: 20, 17, and 13. As the top player collected the most cards, they have won the game.
