Dog's Life
In A DOG'S LIFE, each player take on the role of a junkyard dog. The object? To be the first canine to collect 4 good bones in his den. In order to find the bones, he must scavenge from trashcans, frequent the kitchen doors of restaurants, or otherwise act like a “dog about town”. However, competition is rough. Dogs must "mark their territories" in order to slow other dogs down and fight bravely against those who would rather steal their bones. Dogs must also of course avoid the merciless Dogcatcher. Fortunately, each dog is very different and has varying skills. When used properly these can allow you to reach your goals without too many worries. But the task is still not easy, and fortunes change at the flick of a tail. After all, it is "a dog's life."
Each dog, depending on his own characteristics, has a number of
action points which he may spend on each turn in order to perform
various actions. A clever system of cards determines the results
of these actions and keeps the outcomes from being completely
driven by luck. Players have a wide variety of choices to both
work toward their own goals, and to harrass their opponents. The
rules are very simple and logical, and allow the sorts of actions
and choices that a junkyard dog would make. A funny game of dogs and bones for the whole family.
