Description

Imagine Rock-Paper-Scissors, but good. Imagine four people could play at the same time (and it was still good).

Jack Labrador is a high-action, take-that beer and pretzels card game. It adds two new symbols to traditional Rock-Paper-Scissors, ability cards, and a soupçon of strategy to keep things interesting.

The Jack Labrador deck consists of 110 cards, comprising three games:

MOTOR CITY SHOWDOWN
The flagship game, for 2-4 players. 30-60 minutes.
Players attempt to out-strategize or out-guess their opponents, playing and anteing cards and throwing Rock-Paper-Scissors(-Jack-Labrador). Action cards can affect who wins ties, steal an opponent’s anted cards, or if the stars align, cause a Motor City Showdown, where the entire deck of points is on the line! Cards are points, and the first player to reach a predetermined total (usually 500 or 1000), wins.

SPELL MY NAME
A quicker, heads-up game, 2-4 players. 30 minutes.
Players attempt to win five cards spelling J-A-C-K-Labrador via a series of one-on-one Rock-Paper-Scissors(-Jack-Labrador). Play a single hand or play for points.

PINK SLIP
Per the creator, “The ultimate card game for delivering the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat.” Each copy of Jack Labrador comes with a single Pink Slip, meant to be signed and dated by the owner. This can be anted against another owner’s Pink Slip—winner keeps both Pink Slips and earns bragging rights for life.
