Dog Dice by Gamewright

Dog Dice by Gamewright is an addictive and enjoyable game suitable for both kids and adults. Instead of numbers, the playing boards are adorned with squares depicting four adorable dogs engaging in various activities such as eating, playing with their child-owner, begging for food, and causing mischief. The game gets its name from the two dice that act as the game's command center. One die features the four distinct canine characters, including Gizmo the mutt, Stretch the dachshund, Gigi the poodle, and McDuff the Scottie. The second die displays elements of a dog's life, such as a bone, food dish, the child-owner, a doghouse, and the word "trouble."

To play the game, players match the results of the two dice to a square on their boards. For example, if Gizmo is in his doghouse, players mark that square with a small cardboard bone. The first player to complete a row of marked squares shouts "Hot Dog!" and wins. An interesting twist is that players can also win by marking the four corners of their playing board, just like a dog would mark its territory. However, a drawback of the game is that it only includes four boards, limiting the number of players. Despite this limitation, Dog Dice has received awards from reputable organizations such as Dr. Toy and the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio.

Dog Dice is an excellent game for families to play together, as it can be enjoyed by individuals of all ages. It not only provides entertainment but also helps develop critical learning skills such as visual scanning and discrimination. If you have a knack for math, you can even calculate the possibilities of different picture combinations. For example, it is twice as likely to roll Gizmo or Stretch compared to McDuff or Gigi. Moreover, the game also promotes important social skills like patience, discipline, and good sportsmanship.

The Dog Dice set includes everything you need to start playing, including two dice, four bingo boards, and 48 cardboard bone markers. The game is designed to enhance matching and object recognition skills. It has received accolades, including the Dr. Toy and Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Awards. However, supply is limited, and the game can accommodate only two to four players. The playing time for a full game is approximately 15 minutes. The high gloss graphics of the game make it visually appealing, and it is proudly made in the USA.
