Welcome to Planet Binxadinx!

Rocket Ranchers is a set-collection game about collecting animals for your ranch using your dogship cards to "beam up" animals from various biomes across the planet. The collected animals will be placed in available pens on your ranch. Each pen can hold only one type of animal. The more of a single species you collect, the more profitable your ranch will be. Collect only a few of a species, and you might lose money.

While collecting animals, you'll also encounter space cats, which will cling to some of the animals you collect. Collect one or a bunch to earn points. Collect a few or none, and you'll lose points.

At the end of the game, the player with the most points wins!
