#### A card game by Tim Ferriss and Exploding Kittens

**COYOTE is an addictive card game of hilarity, high-fives, and havoc!** You can learn it in minutes, and each game lasts around 10 minutes.

For ages 10 and up (though I’ve seen six-year-olds play) and three or more players, think of it as group rock, paper, scissors with many surprise twists, including the ability to sabotage other players. Viral videos of COYOTE have been watched more than 250 million times, and it’s just getting started.

Unleash your trickster spirit with a game that’s simple to learn, hard to master, and delightfully different every time you play. May the wit and wiles be with you!
