DOG
The classic pegs-and-track race you know, except cards replace the dice and suddenly every move is a decision.
Who it's for
Families and couples playing as teams who like a classic race game with real decisions instead of pure luck.
Not for you if…
You want zero player conflict, because getting sent back to start by a well-played card is half the fun here.
Vibe's take

About this game
DOG takes the family-favorite chase-and-block race you grew up with and swaps dice for a full deck of cards, which changes everything. You and your partner sit across the table plotting together while cards dictate exact moves: sevens split between pieces, jacks swap you with an unlucky opponent, fours reverse. There is real hand management here, real 'do I set up my teammate or torch an enemy' tension, and the take-that streak runs wide. Whoever reads the deck and the table best gets all four pieces home first.
