About the game
You have an important mission: Amass an adorable pile of dogs who will bury valuable, valuable bones that are worth points! The deck contains 100 dogs split across 10 different breeds, each with beautiful watercolor art. The rules are very simple to teach, and the game can be running within minutes. You'll create stacks of dogs of the same breed - the larger the stack, the more powerful each played doggo's effect will be! These effects will mostly help you bury lots and lots of bones, and each breed has its own unique rule for increasing the value of bones at the end of the game. —description from the publisher

Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Good Puppers! is 15–30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Good Puppers! for ages 9 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone.

Good Puppers! has a complexity rating of 1.9 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
