DOG*
DOG shares similarities with the "Mensch Ärgere Dich nicht" game family but introduces notable twists. Players move their game pieces from home to the target area based on card values, aiming to be the first team to place all eight pieces in the target area.
A key twist is that gameplay relies on a card sheet held by each player, with the starting player and card counts varying throughout the game. The game is a partnership format, requiring a higher level of strategy, as players support their partners once they complete their own set. Compact Dog is a travel version limited to four players.
