About the game
Get ready for a ruff day with Dogs' Day, a fast-paced card game packed with twists where dogs try to get back at the cats who have taken over the city! In a scenario where felines rule and canines live on the fringes, dog mafias unite (and betray each other!) to pull off a major heist at the Bank of Meow City. Each player leads one of these gangs, managing their hand of cards to plan the perfect heist and secure the biggest share of the loot. The game shines with its simultaneous action selection and hand management, allowing you to build your strategy without knowing what your rivals are up to. But beware, because the motto here is 'first come, first served,' and the turn order changes constantly, adding a layer of unpredictability reminiscent of games like Libertalia. Expect plenty of 'take that' interaction, bluffing, and even a bit of social deduction to figure out who's planning what. The goal is to amass the most money, but the real fun lies in outsmarting your opponents, stealing from them, and perhaps escaping the police unscathed. Perfect for those who enjoy 'filler' games with a dash of cunning and a hint of canine humor.
