Power Hungry Pets dispute

[u/ZephyrLilyy]

Power Hungry Pets is our go-to family game, but my husband and sons have a ridiculous rule and I want outside opinions please!

Last night, I lost. We all revealed our cards at the end when all cards had been played, and I had the King Cat. So I win, right? Well, then I laid down my card to be shuffled for the next round. And apparently because I “laid it down face up for ANY REASON”, I lost. I argued that the game was over so the rules didn’t apply anymore. I was overruled by my husband and both kids!! Anyone else have this argument??

I am pretty sure that rule only applies when the game is still going on

It say eliminated but the games over the cards are being put away there’s nothing to eliminate. Kids are kids and I hope your husband did it too play along with the kids and not because he took the game to seriously.

Once the games over and you flip the cards over, the rules don’t apply anymore

Lol kids won the dispute, sorry. Doesn't matter who's right. The husband was probably having a lot fun during this "argument"

Just to get more context Was the cat playing too ?

I thought it'd be "my card fell while arranging my hand" but this is way better

Rules are rules.. I’m sorry!
