DOG Deluxe
German
Description
A familiar path with a clever twist. Dog takes the classic ideas of the Pachisi family and transforms them into a modern card driven team game built around timing hand management and true partnership. Every move feels intuitive yet constantly opens new tactical options far beyond simple luck.
Your goal is to move all of your team’s tokens clockwise from home into the target area. Progress is not determined by dice but by cards. Each round you hold a changing hand that forces constant adaptation. The number of cards cycles deliberately creating pressure and opportunity. Number cards move your tokens while special cards disrupt plans block paths or turn the game upside down at just the right moment.
The true heart of Dog lies in cooperation. Players compete in fixed partnerships and victory or defeat is always shared. At the start of every round partners exchange a card sharing information intent and risk. Once one partner has brought all tokens home they stay in the game assisting the other player. From that moment on every decision carries even more weight.
Dog thrives on interaction clever blocks bold sacrifices and perfectly timed plays. The rules are easy to learn yet the depth grows with every session especially for teams that communicate and trust each other. It is a game that rewards foresight teamwork and reading both the table and your partner.
Compact Dog delivers the same experience in a travel friendly format designed for four players. It keeps the full strategic core while making it ideal for gaming on the go.
Dog is perfect for groups who enjoy classic race games but want more control more interaction and real team dynamics. Play together plan ahead and prove that the right card at the right time can change everything.
