How to play:

  1. Acquire a box of animal crackers.

  2. Shake box well (if you are a small child, you have probably already done this).

  3. Wagers may be taken at this point, where legal. Note: we do not recommend this in games involving small children.

  4. Each player should remove one animal cracker. If you are playing alone, remove two.

  5. Determine which animal would win in a fight. For example: would the headless lion win against the zebra missing two legs?

  6. Rules for determining the winner are open to many variations. See below.

  7. The losing animal (cracker) should be eaten first.

  8. Return to step three (until there are no more animal crackers, then return to step one).

Rules for determining a winner:

  • Whole animals always beat animal parts.

  • Carnivores generally beat herbivores.

Further variations:

  • Best argument in support of an animal wins

  • Monkeys wild

  • Head beats any other limb

  • Head alone loses to any other limb

  • Winning animal remains for next round
