SCRATCH: a flea-bitten game

This was my first ever BoardGameGeek design contest entry - created way back in 2015. 

It proved a useful exercise in learning how to create a 'work-in-progress' thread, upload images and files, post on other's threads, etc. It also gave me the excuse to come up with a large number of puns for the characters, the ratio of which I have yet to beat 🙂. 

It's a simple dexterity/skill 18 card game with a hint of strategy, for 1 to 5 players. The aim is to score points by getting your fleas to jump onto Scratch the dog. You do this by skimming flea cards through the air to try to land on Scratch's card.

The fleas each have different abilities which can modify the points scored and there are other card types which also affect the game.

All the rules are on the cards themselves.
