Walk the Dogs

About this board game

Walk the Dogs is a 2–5-player board game with a 30-minute play time, in which players collect miniature rescue dogs and build their own lines.

Players draw and play cards to take dogs from either the front or the back of a long line. The goal is to collect five dogs of the same breed in a row, or to finish with the most dog points in your own line. Choosing when and where to collect dogs creates a simple risk-and-reward challenge.

Watch out for the dog catcher, who may steal some of your favorite dogs. With every move, the line of dogs can change, so players must keep an eye on the available breeds while working toward a winning collection.

The game includes 63 miniature dogs across seven breeds, and every one is a rescue dog. The breeds are Poodle, Pug, Brittany Spaniel, Shitzu, Scottish Terrier, Golden Retriever, and Pomeranian.

• 63 miniature dogs in 7 different breeds
• 53 cards: 18 red, 18 green, 6 yellow, 3 dog catchers, 5 bones, and 3 leashes

Designed with counting and early multiplication in mind, Walk the Dogs combines approachable collecting with playful decisions about risk and reward. The dog-themed components and varied rescue breeds make each line visually engaging as players work toward the best score.

Whether aiming for five matching dogs or the highest number of dog points, players have two clear paths to victory in this lighthearted card-driven game.
