Trumped Up Cards is a party game that's so, so easy to play. Every round, players use their White answer cards to respond to a Blue question card. The best response wins the round. Then, the process repeats itself, until the player with the biggest brain and the most strength and stamina wins the game. No recounts allowed!! 550 total cards: 420 white answer cards 90 blue question cards 40 Trump Cards, which give players special and often unfair advantages to alter game-play in fun, surprising, and dramatic ways OFFICIAL RULES 1. First, all players must thoroughly sanitize their hands with Purell. Then, they should pledge their loyalty to Trumped Up Cards: The World's Biggest Deck by raising their right hands and saying, Believe me, folks, this deck is so yuuuge, you won't believe it! People all over the world are talking about it! 2. Then, each player draws ten very clean White Cards. 3. The player with the greatest net worth begins as the Card Evaluating Officer (CEO). 4. The CEO must say, I'm really rich, and make a dismissive hand gesture. Then, the CEO selects a fantastic Blue Card from the top of the deck and reads its text out loud. 5. Each player chooses a White Card that best answers or completes the Blue Card, then passes it face down to the CEO. 6. The CEO shuffles the answers and shares each card combination with the group. The CEO then chooses the most tremendous response. The player who submits the winning answer receives that hand's Blue Card. All Blue Cards have a letter on them. These letters are very, very important, so unless you're a fool or a loser, pay attention to them! 7. After the round, a new player becomes the CEO, and everyone, even the stupid losers, draws another White Card to maintain an inventory of ten. The new CEO puts a new Blue Card into play, and the game continues as described in steps 5 and 6. 8. On both White Cards and Blue Cards, you will occasionally see a footnote. Footnotes do not impact game play. We include them to provide more context regarding quotes and other information that is cited or alluded to on these cards. 9. There are a subset of White Cards known as Trump Cards. Trump Cards have larger-than-average powers that players can use to obtain a strategic advantage during a hand. Trump Cards are usually played in combination with a standard White Card. At the end of a hand, a player who has used a Trump Card in combination with a White Card will need to draw two White Cards to maintain an inventory of ten. See below for additional information about how specific Trump Cards work. 10. Breaking the rules at any time is okay, as long as you can persuade a simple majority of players that what you are doing will help make America a more amazing place to live than China, Mexico, or even Japan! 11.There are two ways to play the game to conclusion: FOR BIG LEAGUE PLAYERS The game ends when a player can spell V-O-T-E using the letters on the Blue Cards he or she has won. DC Gridlock variation: At the beginning of a Big League game, players can decide if they also want to add the DC Gridlock variation. Here's how it works: When a player spells V-O-T-E as described above, the other players can block him or her, if collectively they have won enough Blue cards to spell V-E-T-O. If they can, those players can eliminate one of the Blue Cards the other player has used to spell V-O-T-E, thus blocking his or her win. Players who successfully apply a veto must discard the Blue Cards they used to do so after applying it. Play continues until someone can successfully spell V-O-T-E without getting vetoed by the other players. FOR TOTAL LIGHTWEIGHTS The game ends when the majority of the players grow so depressed at the prospect of a real Trump presidency that they just start quietly sobbing. In this scenario, the player who possesses the most Blue Cards at this point is the winner. Whichever version you play, all the stupid losers have to call the winner Mr. Trump for the rest of the evening. In addition, the winner is allowed to run for president (assuming he or she can persuade RNC Chairman Reince Priebus that there truly is no saner option). TRUMP CARDS Deport an opponent's answer! This card lets you eliminate an opponent's White Card. Play this card after the CEO reads all the responses for a hand, but before he or she selects the most tremendous response. You should play this card when you think your White Card is the second best answer in a hand. By eliminating the competition, your White Card may then become the most tremendous. Impose a 45 percent tariff! This card lets you impose a 45 percent tariff on the White Cards your opponents submit during a hand. In other words, their responses must be 45 percent more tremendous than your own response. If none of them are, you win the hand. Who decides if a response is 45 percent more tremendous than yours? Your gut. Declare White Card bankruptcy! Discard five White Cards you don't like, plus this Bankruptcy card, and select six new White Cards to replace them. Play this card before submitting a White Card for a hand. Once you have your new cards, you must submit a White Card for that hand too. Play the woman card! This card lets you dismiss any female player's answer during a hand, for no good reason. If you like, you can also use this card against feminist men too, or any man who feels ethically ambivalent about beauty contests. So sue me! Use this card to challenge any player who performs an action you think is unfair or unethical. If the majority of other players agree with you, that player must sit out a hand. If they don't, you have to sit out a hand. Tilt the playing field! Use this card to play two White Cards in a single hand, thus increasing your chances of winning. When the hand is over, draw three new White Cards to maintain your inventory of ten. Invoke eminent domain! After a hand is completed and the CEO has chosen a winning Blue Card, you can use this card to seize that card for yourself. (This is useful if the winning Blue Card features a letter you need to complete the word V-O-T-E.) After you play this card, draw one new White Card to maintain your inventory of ten. Go off script! Use this card to submit your own original answer instead of using a White Card. If you have a Dry-Erase marker, you can write your answer directly on the card. If you don't, simply write your answer on a small sheet of paper and submit that. At the end of the hand, draw one new White Card to maintain your inventory of ten. Eliminate liberal bias! This card lets you exclude the player sitting to the left of you from a hand. Play this card after the CEO reads the text of the hand's Blue Card, but before players submit their White Cards for the hand. Reframe the narrative! Use this card to force the CEO to replace that hand's Blue Card with a different one. Play this card after the CEO reads the text of the hand's initial Blue Card, but before players submit their White Cards for it.

Great alternative to the grunting pigs!
Color: Pink, Style: Grunt Sound
We go through A LOT of dog toys at my dog based business. The grunting pigs are super cute, but they are also super fragile. It is incredibly easy to dislodge the squeaker. (Grunter?) These are certainly not robust chew toys, but the squeaker is about 30% better at staying put than that of the pigs. It's also smaller, so it's easier for the smaller dogs to play with. These are a new favorite! Update: August, 2024 I bought an orange hedgehog. Amazon won't let me review that separately so I had to add to my sheep review. The orange hedgehog is only 3 stars. It is made of a harder plastic than the bear and the sheep. It also has a standard squeaker, not the grunting of the bear and sheep. But harder plastic DOES NOT mean that it will withstand an aggressive chewer! If your dog likes to "kill the squeaker" they will be able to do so in minutes! This IS NOT a chew toy! If you are looking for a toy for an aggressive chewer, look at the Orbeez line from Outward Hound. The other thing that makes me less enthusiastic about the orange hedgehog is that the yellow paint started flaking off immediately. I will have to scrub it all off because it looks terrible! The dogs don't care, but their owners sure do! I haven't had that problem with the sheep or the bears. The orange hedgehog is almost like it's from a completely different company!

Great find for my dog!
Color: Hedgehog, Style: Big Squeak Hedgehog
This is a Big squeaking toy And has become a favorite of my dog. He is a big chewer but he won’t chew at this one he just carries it around and plays catch with it. I believe the little spikes keeps him from heavy chewing on it! Great find for us! But it is a loud squeak!

For the love of a dog!
Color: Blue, Style: Tootiez Hedgehog, Color: Blue, Style: Tootiez Hedgehog
Okay, first - this toy is a hoot. When you first get it and hear it's cute grunting/tooting sound, you can't help but grin and think, Yup! That sounds like somebody in here just tooted! Which for some reason always does seem to be a bit funny, doesn't it? And you'll probably find yourself chuckling a little and saying, Oh how cute. After that, the next logical step is you'll introduce the toy to your dog. And then, depending on your dog's particular personality, you may soon discover (as we did) the amazing love/hate relationship a human can develop with a simple dog toy. We have a 1-yr-old standard poodle whom we named Kenda. And yes, he is named after Joe (for any of you ID fans out there). His official AKC registered name is Lieutenant Kenda, Home Inside Hunter. Corny? No doubt. But it truly seemed an appropriate name for him, because this is the first dog we've ever owned that actually LOVES to play with dog toys and will endlessly hunt them down throughout the house. No toy, however well hidden, stands a chance with this determined toy hunter. As Joe might say, he WILL find you! :) His toys are his friends, and he is fiercely devoted to them. Enter the adorable little rubber hedgehog with his even more adorable "toot". The moment Kenda laid eyes (or ears?) on this little guy, all other toys were forgotten. It was love at first sight. So much so that within a few hours of him playing with this toy to the exclusion of all others, we decided to give him a name. We call him "Blue" (I know, we're so creative). Blue immediately became Kenda's best friend - or at least his best toy. He played with him constantly. He bit him, he wrestled with him, he chewed on him. He brought Blue to us and, if we were sitting down, very carefully placed this slobbery ball of rubber in our laps, as if asking, Can we play catch with Blue? Huh? Pretty please?? Sometimes we did, sometimes we didn't. On those occasions when we didn't, he would play catch with himself, picking Blue up in his mouth, swinging his head, and tossing him across the kitchen; then running/sliding across the kitchen floor to retrieve him on the other side of the room. In the beginning, if Blue was nowhere in sight (and with dogs, out of sight is usually out of mind), the hubby and I would get a kick out of saying, "Kenda, where's Blue?!" Just for the enormous fun of watching a 55-pound poodle suddenly leap a foot in the air, scramble his legs mid-air like Fred Flintstone getting his car started, then half running/half sliding across the kitchen hardwood floor in a desperate effort to find his beloved Blue. Oh, how we entertained ourselves in those early days watching Kenda with his Blue. And through it all, through every bite, squeeze, toss, push, throw, and chew of this toy.......the toot. The grunt. Okay, let's call it what it really sounds like, folks: a FART, okay? There, I've said it. It sounds like your grandpa just passed gas - bigtime. Funny? At first, yes. Hilarious. But a thousand times a day? Over and over and over? While you're trying to talk on the phone? While you're trying to have conversation with each other over coffee at the end of the day? Sometimes for an hour NON-STOP? Well, let's just say the humor of it all began to elude us a bit. And therein lies our love/hate relationship with this adorable little toy. We thought we'd died and gone to heaven one day when Blue stopped tooting. Turns out Kenda had chewed on him so much his tooter (located rather anatomically correctly in his tushie) had fallen out. Or rather IN, since it was now in Blue's tummy. Poor Blue, he couldn't make noise anymore, and although Kenda kept playing with him you could tell he was confused as to why his little buddy had fallen silent and wouldn't "talk" to him anymore. And as much as the hubby and I were enjoying the tooting reprieve, we couldn't take it. By the third silent day, I could almost feel the invisible hands of Amazon coaxing me toward my computer, gently urging me to buy another Blue. But I resisted, folks. I did NOT buy another Blue. I bought TWO more Blues! One for now, and one for that possible future day when this Blue, too, falls silent. Why? Because ... well, because it's BLUE! He's practically a member of the family now. The dog loves Blue, and we love the dog. I guess it's that simple. My final word on this dog toy? It's adorable. It's well made and will hold up to a ton of play and chewing. His tooter may not survive as long; I guess that remains to be seen. And if your dog is anything like mine, well then your sanity may take a hit as well. But if your dog loves his little hedgehog buddy as ours does, and if you love your dog (and you know you do!), then you might decide your sanity is worth the risk. Two thumbs way, WAY up! P.S. Blue now has a friend. We just bought the pink sheep. Kenda is in 7th heaven. Our house sounds like a retirement home after a chili bean supper. And yes, we named him "Pink". I told you - we are nothing if not creative.

My Dog's All-Time Favorite Toy
Color: Pink, Style: Grunt Sound
The first one of these I ever got her was at Petco on sale for $1 - best $1 ever! The reviews are right, though. The toy doesn't last forever and it's not good for aggressive chewers. In my opinion, however, that doesn't make it a bad toy. Here's why: Aggressive chewers comments: Getting my sister's French Bulldog a stuffed toy (that's shredded in 5 minutes), compared to my Pitbull who does not tear up any toys, but is a stronger chewer when it comes to bones. My pup does not tear this up at all, but my sister's dog would. My point is: Don't get your dog a soft toy if your dog ruins soft toys. Regarding the not long-lasting comments: the honking noise mechanism inside eventually pops inside the hole, rendering it honkless. Ours lasted about 6 months. It's pretty much impossible to fix unless you want to trouble yourself to fix it for 1 good honk each fix. I would, but I do also have a job to get to. My dog does still carry it around in it's noiseless state, but she doesn't play with it with the same enthusiasm. How did I resolve this? I bought her 5 😂 She's only on her second, but I decided to stock it because they were on sale for $5.10 - I don't think I will get rid of any of them. I will just let her play with them on rotation until they fall apart. Besides all that, my dog just simply loves this toy. I have never seen her so happy & playful with a toy. I can't promise this for your dog, as I can only tell you about mine. We even have a "Sheepy" song. [I have not been paid or given free Sheeps - my Sweet Pea just really loves her Sheepy]
