Inspired by the pairs’ Springer Spaniel, Rupert, Dog Park orientates around the player(s) operating their own dog walking business. The game features illustrated cards of 163 breeds in the standard edition while the collector’s edition features all 221 dogs recognised by the UK Kennel Club (as of 2020).
According to Birdwood Games, “Dog Park is a competitive set collection and point-to-point movement game about walking dogs. In Dog Park, you and your friends will take on the role of dog walkers – recruiting, walking, and caring for your dogs over four rounds.
“In each round, you will journey through the Dog Park with your pups to collect resources, earn reputation, and interact with your fellow walkers. Choose your routes and dogs carefully to earn the best reputation and prove you are the most accomplished walker of them all.”
