Dog Pound is a fast condition-recognition game similar to Slamwich, Twitch and Bongo. The cards are cut to resemble dog biscuits, and contain matching pairs of dogs and owners who bear an uncanny resemblance to each other. Whenever a pair appears on the card pile, the first person to slap the pile wins all of the cards.There are also three special action cards that add a twist to the pattern recognition required in the game. The fire hydrant card costs you an extra card, which is added to the pile. The dog catcher card allows you to pick up the pile, but you have to leave the dog catcher behind. And finally, the dog biscuit card is a sort of wild card, and whoever slaps the pile first with a dog biscuit on it wins the pile.The player who collects all of the cards in the deck wins.Contents:20 Dog Cards 20 Dog Owner Cards 2 Fire Hydrant Cards 2 Dog Catcher Cards 4 Dog Biscuit Cards Rules on the box - BoardGameGeek
