## Description
In Bark Avenue, you're a dog walker in Manhattan, juggling the logistics of caring for multiple pups at once. Each dog has its own preferences—some love parks, others need frequent bathroom breaks, and some just don't get along with other dogs. The challenge is to plan efficient routes, even using public transport, to deliver the pups on time and earn the best ratings. As you progress, you unlock abilities like walking more dogs at once or even letting them off-leash at the park. But beware: delays can cost you big time! With hand management, route building, and random events, Bark Avenue is a fun and challenging game for dog lovers and logistics puzzle fans alike. It plays in about 45-60 minutes and works well for 1-5 players, from beginners to optimization-loving veterans.
