Description Description
Dog has similarities to the Pachisi / Sorry! family of games, but with a few noticeable twists. The game mechanics is similar to TAC, Super Tock 4, Super Tock 6, Tock 6, and Super Tock 8.

The object of the game is to move your tokens from home to the target area as quickly as possible, moving them in a clockwise direction along the course according to the value of the cards. Whichever team first places all eight of its tokens in the target area wins.

The first twist in Dog is that play is based on a hand of cards held by each player, with the start player and the quantity of cards cycling on successive hands from six cards to two, then resetting to five, then progressing back to two. Card values range from 1-13, with a number of special actions represented.

The second twist is that Dog is a partnership game, with the players winning or losing as a team, which adds a significant level of strategy and tactics to the game. Partners trade one card at the beginning of each round, and once one player from a partnership has completed his group, his plays now assist his partner.

Compact Dog is a travel version of Dog that's limited to four players instead of allowing for play with either four or six players, as in the full game.

Dog shares many similarities with Partners, which can be described as a simplified version of Dog.

an awesome game, we used tonplay it for hours. there is luck involved but the more you play the more strategic it gets and you start thinking on another level than beginners

I mean the Swiss version - called Brändi Dog - excellent components. It's a great partnership game.

Probably the best family game I own. People always enjoy it and it's quick and the team aspect is great. Ultimate camping game as well.

A great take on a traditional game. Even better than when I first played it. Got it as a birthday gift from a special non-player friend who heard I loved it - I am stunned. Yeah!

By far the game we play most! We use the Swiss version and rules, which is a slightly different game then this one. It's a standard go to game with friends, not overly complicated but takes some strategy to work it out with your partner. Especially the part on working together with your partner is what makes the game fun. I truly don't understand how people take hours to finish this game, the longest we ever take is an hour and a half and that includes getting up to drink or smoke.
