Gubs…
…are a secretive bunch, hiding from the dangers of the world within hollow tree stumps or under the clover of the forest. They cherish peace and seek only to live out their lives without incident. Mostly they love to build up their cities of mushroom houses and travel about upon their steeds, Velvet Moths or Toads, in search of valuable Lure treasures…
But their world is full of hazards, each more deadly than the last, and to survive they appoint the wisest among them to lead as their Esteemed Elder. Only cleverness and luck will see them through the trials they face. This is the ongoing struggle of the Gubs.
The Game
The GUBS card game is a game of wit and luck. Using a single GUBs deck, up to 6 players of nearly any age can enjoy a fast-paced, often hilarious game in which all sorts of creative card combinations are possible.
To win, you must be the player with the most Gubs on your side when the game ends. Easy to learn and easy to play, GUBS is a notoriously replayable game with new strategies appearing all the time.
