In this charming and fast-paced title, each player has a dog hidden among five tiles. The goal is to discover where your opponents' dogs are hidden, without letting them find yours! It's a game of deduction and bluffing where you need to be clever to avoid revealing your pet's location. Throughout the rounds, players suggest doors to investigate, and you can agree or disagree, trying to mislead others. If you correctly guess an opponent's dog's hiding spot, you can open one of their tiles. But be careful: if you're too obvious in your misdirection attempts, you might end up revealing where your own dog is. The game ends when someone opens three of their tiles without their dog being found, or, unfortunately, if your dog is discovered. Dokojong is ideal for those who enjoy light games with a touch of tension and lots of laughter when a dog is finally found. It's super easy to learn and play, perfect for gathering friends for a quick and fun session. With simple components and straightforward rules, it's a great game to introduce deduction and bluffing mechanics in a very relaxed way. Who will manage to protect their dog and unmask the others first? ## FAQ ### How many players can participate in Dokojong?
