of any opponent and announce, “There’s a Moose in Your House!”

Once you get a There’s a Moose in the House card, it stays for the

duration of the game. You can’t stop anyone from giving one to you

and you can’t get rid of it. However, each player may only get one

There’s a Moose in the House card during the game.

Notes: Once all players have a There’s a Moose in the House card

in front of them, discard any extra There’s a Moose in the House

cards from your hand, and draw new cards to bring it back up to

four. Also, if you draw a There’s Moose in the House card after all

players have a There’s a Moose in the House card in front of them,

simply discard it and draw another card.

Empty Rooms

There are four differe empty roomsnt

in the house: a kitchen, living room,

bedroom and bathroom. During your turn, try to give one of these

cards to another player. If an opponent gives you an Empty Room

card, place it face up in front of you, visible to all. Once you get an

Empty Room card, opponents may play a matching Moose in the

Room card on top of it during subsequent turns, unless you close

it rst using a Door card (see below). Empty Room cards are the

only cards you can give opponents before they have a There’s a

Moose in the House card in front of them.

Notes:

• Build your “house” from left to right in front of you, keeping the

There’s a Moose in the House card on the outside left.

• You can have multiple matching rooms in your house (for example,

two kitchens, three bedrooms, etc.). However, you cannot have

more than three empty rooms (without a Closed Door or Moose)

in your house at once during the game.

Moose in the Room

Each empty room has a matching

Moose in the Room card. Once

opponents have a There’s a Moose in the House card, you can put

moose in their rooms. Look at the Empty Room cards in front of

your opponents. If someone has an Empty Room card that matches

a Moose in the Room card from your hand, place the card face up

on top of the Empty Room card and announce, “There’s a Moose in

your [name of room]!” Moose in the Room cards are counted at the

end of the game.

Notes: You may only play Moose in the Room cards on

opponents who have a There’s a Moose in the House Card in front

of them. Also, you can only play one Moose in the Room card per

Empty Room.

Door

Door cards keep moose out of the rooms in your house.

Play a Door card face up on top of any Empty Room card in front

of you. When you do, say “Slam!” Doors permanently shut rooms

and stay in place until the end of the game.

Note: This is the only card that you may play to your house and

you may only play it on an empty room.

Rules of Play

Contents

20 Empty Room cards (5 each of Kitchen, Bathroom, Living Room

and Bedroom)

20 Moose in the Room cards (same as above, but with Moose)

10 There’s a Moose in the House cards

5 Door cards

3 Moose Trap cards

Object

The object of the game is to keep moose out of the rooms of your

house, put moose into your opponents’ houses, and have the fewest

moose in your house when the last card is played.

Setup

The rst time you play, look through the deck to get familiar with

the cards. Note that each Empty Room card has a matching color-

coded Moose in the Room card.

Choose a player to be the dealer. The dealer shuffles the deck, deals

four cards to each player, and places the remaining cards in a face

down draw pile in the center of the playing area. Players look at

their cards but keep them secret from opponents.

How to Play

All players start the game with an invisible empty “house” in front

of them on the playing surface. As the game progresses, players fill

opponents’ houses with rooms and then their rooms with moose.

The player to the left of the dealer goes rst and play continues

clockwise. Start each turn by drawing one card from the face down

deck. Then take ONE of the following actions:

1) Play a There’s a Moose in the House card on any opponent that

doesn’t already have one.

2) Play an empty room card on any opponent that has less than

three empty rooms.

3) Play a matching Moose in the Room card on top of any opponent’s

empty room (providing they have a There’s a Moose in the House

card in front of them).

4) Play a Door card on one of your empty rooms.

If you can’t play any of your cards, simply discard one into a face

up pile next to the draw pile. This ends your turn, and play moves

to the next player.

Card Actions

There’s a Moose in the House

This is a very important card early in the game, as you

cannot put any moose into opponents’ houses until they have one

of these in front of them. To play this card, place it face up in front

™

Moose Trap

Use a Moose Trap card to get rid of pesky moose! When

someone tries to put a moose in one of your empty rooms, play this

card immediately from your hand. Show the card to your opponent

and say “Moose Trap!” Take both the Moose Trap card along with

the opponent’s Moose in the Room card and place them in the

discard pile. (Leave your Empty Room card as players may still try

to put another moose there later in the game.) Then, draw another

card to bring your hand back up to four cards. Play continues as

usual with the player to the left of the person who tried to put a

moose in your house.

Note: You can only play this card as an instant action during

someone else’s turn, not during your turn.

Here’s an example of how the playing area (the “houses”) might

look in the middle of a four-player game:

Ending the Game

When the last card is drawn from the deck, continue playing out

the cards in your hand. Take turns as usual, playing one card at a

time. If you can’t play a card from your hand, say “pass.” Keep going

until all players are either out of cards or cannot move (have to

pass). At this point, add the total number of Moose in the Room

cards, both in your hand and in your house. The player with the

fewest Moose wins. (In the case of a tie, the player with the most

closed doors wins.)

Fun Playing Suggestions

Having moose in your house is just plain silly! Therefore, we

encourage you to create quips and witty banter throughout the

game. Some examples: Play a Moose in the Kitchen card and say,

“I’m coming over for some Chocolate Mousse.” Play a Moose in the

Bedroom card and say, “Bedtime for Bullwinkle!” Whatever you

say, have fun and be creative!

A Word From Gamewright

This game brings new meaning to the term “full house.” Just imagine

what it would be like to have a herd of giant moose eating out of

your refrigerator, sleeping in your bed, and bathing in your bathtub!

The absurdity of the situation is enough to make you giggle, which

is part of what this game is all about. Laughter is an important

component of any group gathering, and There’s a Moose in the

House is the perfect game to bring out for a round of light-hearted

fun. Just be careful if you invite a moose over to play, as they hate

to lose!
