About the game

Dodgy Dogs is a beautifully designed card game all about badly behaved dogs, illustrated by visual artist Jean Jullien. Use strategy and luck to get rid of all of your Dodgy Dogs as quickly as possible. Because who wants a hand full of Dodgy Dogs, right? It's easy to play and suitable for people of all ages. We’d love you to support us in making the game so you can have as much fun playing it as we have! At the start of the game, you are dealt a hand of Dodgy Dogs. They'll be one of four different sizes and they'll be performing one of ten different bad behaviours. Your aim is to get rid of all your Dodgy Dogs. The first player places one of their dogs down on the table. The player to their left must then match either the size, or the behaviour of that dog, and place theirs on top. If they can’t, they have to pick up cards from the stock pile until they can place one down. And so it goes. —description from the publisher
