Description

Dog-In-Show is a joyful and strategic board game where players become dog breeders, trainers, and handlers, all striving to raise the most outstanding dogs and win the coveted "Best in Show" trophy. Each player starts with a puppy and uses training cards to secretly improve its beauty, agility, and obedience over time. The game blends secret actions, open competition, and interactive negotiation. You can trade, bluff, cooperate, or sabotage – all in the name of dog show glory. Random events and judges’ moods create twists that reward adaptability and clever timing. With real dog photos, lively illustrations, and multiple dog breeds to explore, Dog-In-Show appeals to families, dog lovers, and strategy game fans alike. The gameplay scales well from small to large groups (2–10 players), offering a light yet competitive experience full of laughs, rivalries, and adorable dogs. The player who collects the most trophies through successful show entries and clever play wins the game – and earns the title of ultimate dog show champion. —description from the designer
