Dog to try2.12 - App Store

Dog is a popular board game with cards. Your goal is to get all your and your partner's marbles into the target area before your opponents do. Our app is available for iPhone, Mac, iPad, and iPod touch. The full version of this app reached several times rank 3 of all games in the Swiss App Store, with thousands of ratings at an astonishing average of 4.7 stars and ranks regularly among the top ranks for card and board game apps in several countries. Try our app in this ad-supported version a no cost!

In each round you first receive a handful of cards. You must give one of your cards to your partner and receive one of his cards. Cards that you play advance your marble. A marble that lands exactly on another marble sends it home. Special cards speed up your moves, by exchanging marble positions, going backwards, or splitting advances over several marbles. When you are done with your own marbles, you must help your partner, as you can only win together.

Invite friends to a multiplayer game or find other players on the Internet! The players see your board and play their cards and marbles on their iPhone, Mac, iPad, or iPod touch. Your devices communicate easily over the Internet via Game Center, or locally (no registrations needed) via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi network. The app supplies bot players on empty game seats, so you can finally play with your friends even if you are missing a third or fourth player.

Blind and visually impaired players can select moves through VoiceOver. We encourage you to get acquainted with the standard VoiceOver features of iOS, and in particular with rotors.

Dog to try for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch is intended for casual players who want to discover the game or join into their friends' favorite game. If you want to play with a variety of stronger bot players of different characters and strength, or on boards of variable size, or if you are concerned about advertisers' data collection, consider our full app named Dog Board Game.
