Dog Park
Bid for dogs, walk them through the park, and earn a good reputation.
Who it's for
Dog lovers who also like mid-weight euros with auctions and set collection. Good for three or four around the table.
Not for you if…
You want something light or very fast. Four phases and a reputation economy ask for focus, and the theme is gentler than the decisions.
Vibe's take
Cozy but thoughtful: you sweat over whether to buy that dog and whether you can walk it, then enjoy the stroll. The reputation economy keeps every bid a bit tense.
About this game
Dog Park casts you as a dog walker who recruits, walks, and cares for dogs over four rounds. You bid your hard-earned reputation, which is also your victory points, to bring dogs into your kennel. Then you choose which dogs go on your lead and head through the park, picking up resources and chatting with other walkers along the way. When you get home, dogs you walked earn you reputation while dogs left behind cost it. It is a mid-weight set-collection and route game with a gentle, warm theme and a fair bit of thinking. It plays one to four, best with three or four, in about 80 minutes.
