Ferret Flush

Ferret Flush is a laugh-a-lot, easy-to-play card game for creatures who like to dig a little deeper. In some bizarrely funny situations, players explore the interplay between thoughts, feelings and actions. It’s a fine day to be a ferret.

The Goal: Earn the most points by the end of the adventure!

The Set Up: Shuffle the Situation Cards. Place the cards face down. Shuffle the Play Cards. Deal 5 cards to each creature. Place remaining Play Cards face down next to the Situation Cards

The Play: Dealer is the first Ferret.

Ferret turns up the top Situation Card, reads it out loud, & places it face up for all to see.

For every Situation Card, you’ll play 3 sets: Thought, Feeling, & Action.

Thought Set: All creatures (minus the Ferret) pick a Play Card from your hand with the best* thought for the situation. Pass Play Cards face down to the Ferret & pick up a new Play Card.

Ferret reads each thought out loud, picks a favorite, and places it face up below the Situation Card.

Feeling Set: Rinse & repeat. This time, pick the best* feeling to fit both the Situation and Thought.

Action Set: Again! Pick the best* action for the Situation, Thought, & Feeling.

If the Ferret picks your card for at least two sets, you win this round and earn a point. Keep the Situation Card to track your points. (Keep it face-up in front of you, not in your hand)

If you win three sets, that’s a Ferret Flush™! Keep the Situation Card & also draw an extra Play Card to add to your hand.

When there’s a three-way tie, those creatures must each act out the Feeling from the round. Ferret picks the best* actor to win the round.

Creature to the left of the last Ferret becomes the new Ferret.

Adventure ends when every creature has been the Ferret twice (3-4 creatures) or once (5-6 creatures). Creature with the most points wins.
