About this game

Duck, Duck, Bruce is push-your-luck distilled into flipping duck cards, one at a time, hoping you do not reveal two matching suits or, worse, the lurking monster himself. Every safe flip grows the pile you could walk away with, but greed keeps you flipping past the point of comfort, and Bruce showing up wipes the row clean while handing you the chance to raid someone else's nest instead. Quick, tense little decisions repeat every round, and the tension of just one more card never quite goes away, no matter how many times you have been burned.
