More game info:
Zombies roam the city, but you and your doggo friends have found refuge in Central Bark. Cooperate as a pack to sniff out humans in hiding and bring them back to safety! On each turn you’ll choose two actions:
- RUNNING through the city to get to friends or smells.
- LICKING yourself or others, drawing you energy cards.
- SNIFFING the smells of the city to uncover humans and their stories.
- BARKING or HERDING to move pieces around the board – humans, zombies, or your fellow dogs!
- CHEWING the zombies that just keep coming!
- And most importantly, BEING A GOOD DOG by using the special power unique to your dog!
As you play cards, you’ll howl to give energy to your pack, and zoom to chain together many actions into mega-turns!
But beware! After every turn, a new zombie enters the city. They’ll block your path, eat any hoomans they find, and get closer and closer to Central Bark! Work quickly, pups, because the zombies will push your Feral Track higher and higher. If it reaches ten, you forget what it means to know the love of a human!
If you rescue six humans in time, you’ll build your forever home and win the game!
