The back feet touch another colored square

HOW TO PLAY

The player who most recently pet a dog goes first. On your turn, flip the top card face up to start or add to the discard pile. Take the action indicated by the card. After completing your action, play moves to the next player in a clockwise direction.

CARD ACTIONS

Single Chihuahua card – Time to Cha-cha! Take one Chihuahua from the

center dog pile and place it on any open squares on your dance floor. Then get up and do a celebratory dance by doing your interpretation of the dance move on the card!

Double Chihuahua card - Time to Cha-cha with a partner! Take two Chi-huahuas from the center pile, place one on your dance floor and give one to the player who has the fewest dogs on their

dance floor. (If it's a tie, you get to choose. If it's you, you get two!) Then get up and do a celebratory dance with your partner by doing your interpretation of the dance moves on the card!

Cha-Cha Chow-Chow – There's only one thing Chihuahuas love more than dancing – eating! Lure another player's Chihuahua with a delicious bowl of Cha-Cha Chow-Chow. Ask any player to give you one of their Chihuahuas and then place it in an empty space on your dance floor. Note: You may take this action immediately upon revealing the card, OR, save it for later by taking the card

and placing it face up in front of you. On a following turn, instead of turning over a card from the draw pile, place the card in the discard pile, and ask another player for one of their Chihuahuas.

Siesta Time – Dancing in a cha-cha marathon is lots of fun but it can be exhausting! Time for some doggies to get some rest. Look at the color of the blanket on the card. Then look at your dance floor. If any of your Chihuahuas' feet touch a color square that matches the color on the

blanket, you must send them to the Nap Shack. Take those figurines and place them inside the Nap Shack. (No action if you don't have any matching dogs.)

Nap Shack – Doggies can't rest forever! If there are any Chihuahuas in the Nap Shack, invite them back to dance. Take all of the Chihuahuas out of the Nap Shack and place them on any open squares on your dance floor. If the Nap Shack is empty, take the card and place it face up in

front of you. On a future turn, instead of turning over a card from the draw pile, you may place the card in the discard and take all the Chihuahuas from the Nap Shack.

ENDING THE GAME

Keep taking turns and drawing cards until the dog pile is out of Chihuahuas. At that point all players count the Chihuahuas on their dance floors. Whoever has with the most doggie dancers wins. In case of a tie, both/all players win!

A WORD FROM GAMEWRIGHT

We love games that promote silliness. And what could be sillier than a pack of Chihuahuas that love to dance the Cha-Cha?! Inventors Rosie and Josh Roberson were inspired by their own dancing Chihuahua, Piccolo, to create this wonderfully whimsical game that helps pre-school children to hone color identification, as well as fine and gross motor skills. Did you know that Chihuahuas are the smallest dogs by size and that their name comes from the state of Chihuahua in Mexico? Chihuahuas are one of the most popular "toy" breeds in the USA. If you ever get inspired to bring one into your family, we encourage you to consider adoption. Please check out the ASPCA (www.aspca.org) and the Humane Society of the U.S. (humanesociety.org) for more information about pet adoption and rescue.
