The mouse is clever and the elephant is strong and they play tug-of-war, but they need both muscles and brain to pull each other over the finish line. The terrain cards are laid out, the tug-of-war card is placed under the middle card, flag just beneath the starting post. One player has the mouse cards, the other the elephant cards. Duck cards win against 8, 9, and 10 and lose against all others. Each player chooses a card and places it face down and are revealed at the same time. The higher card wins and the player may move the tug-of-card along one terrain card. Whoever can move the tug-of-war card over the finish line wins.
