About the game
You’ve become so successful as a New York City dog walker that you're ready to build your own dog-walking empire. As your team grows, you venture into new boroughs and face new opportunities to branch out your business and upgrade your gear. Some of your clients are even asking you to walk multiple of their own dogs at once! Kings and Queens adds 3 new modules: The new BOROUGH MAP BOARD is a tight worker placement bonus collection mechanism where you’ll send your Helper to the boroughs of New York City to race other players for bonuses, training at the doggie day camp, and new gear - new ITEM CARDS give you one-time or permanent effects that no other players have, giving you asymmetric abilities. DOUBLE DOG CARDS let you walk two dogs at once on a single card with new puzzles to solve, taking up two slots on your player board! The menagerie is on the move with the bonus CONCRETE JUNGLE module with JUNGLE CARDS - 27 unique animals that you can legally own in New York City who are along for the ride. Walk bunnies, chinchillas, cats, and even horses in this wild expansion - where the favorite activities are tagging along to Coffee Shops and Treat Shops. Do you have what it takes to become the next kings and queens of dog walking? —description from the publisher
