Object of the Game
In Chupacabra, 2 – 4 players struggle to amass packs of Chupacabras to overpower herds of goats. Players must push their hand to the limit, timing their attacks and knowing when to call off their packs. Often players will come to the aid of the goat herds to prevent them from becoming easy pickings for other players. The player with the best score after eating 25 goats wins.

In Brief
Each player has a hand of cards (starting with 5 and variable after that, with a maximum of 8). When played, these cards add to the number of a particular pack of Chupacabras (of which there are three different types) that you are amassing to attack a particular herd of goats (again, three different types), while at the same time adding to (or subtracting from) the number of goats in a particular herd.

The player(s) who have amassed the most Chupacabras in a particular color get the opportunity to strike against the herds of goats of the corresponding color. If you outnumber goats that you are attacking, you can eat well, but if they outnumber you, then watch out.

This is a hecka good filler card game.

If people are going to review games on this website or comment about a game, don’t you think that in the interests of full disclosure that the reviewer/commenter reveal their friendship with the designer etc.; so that the reader can best evaluate the comment/review?

I would hope that this is the case. Maybe this is a good game or maybe not, but the readers/visitors to this website would be better served by the reviewer/commentator if they revealed their ties to the designer.
