About
Check out our Print and Play version and our page on Kickstarter! Funded in 11 hours! How crazy is that?!
The game was created at the Mini Game Jam in August 2018 by Talita Rhein in Berlin. Johanna Janiszewski saw potential in the game and helped Talita moving on with game design and rules.
After a few months, there was a first playable prototype, made with white cards and hand-drawn art. It looked pretty bad but was presented in some local events in Berlin. In December 2018 Margherita Barrera joined the team and made 11 different illustrations for the characters.
In June 2019, 25 decks were printed. Each deck had 28 cards and a very simple gameplay. We thought we were closer to the final version, but testing with the prototype showed us that there was a lot of work to be done.
Now we are working with a 60 cards deck, a funnier mechanic, and lots of fun! We are in the stage of testing and polishing the game rules. The next step is making a release version, which means we are almost at the end of our journey!
Since we are totally independent, we runned a crowdfunding campaign to release and sell the game. We are already funded, check it out here. You can buy decks here.
As supporters of the project, we have Tiny Crocodile Studios and Nachtalb UG. Also, many friends are testing, playing, and spreading the word of Dogo Dash all over the world! If you want to join this adventure and see what we have in real-time…
Dogo Dash is very easy to play. It is a round-based card game, and each player chooses one card from their hand. After saying DO-GO DASH all players show their chosen cards at the same time. Easy, right?
DA RULES
All players (2 to 5) should pick 4 cards from the stack to start the game. This is their hand.
They choose one card to play and show at the same time. The strongest card wins. All cards played become the winner’s points and go to a separate mount. One card = one point.
Everyone should fill up their hand to 4 cards before the next round. If there is a tie between two or more players, they must play their hands until the winner is defined, no filling up with new cards. If the hands are empty, then the round is over and the points are shared between the tied players.
Gameplay flow:
Draw cards -> Choose card -> Play card -> Define winner -> Get points -> Draw cards
Strength of the cards:
Cookie wins against Dog and Bear
Bear wins against Dog and Cat
Dog only wins over Cat
Cat only wins over Cookie
If there is a Cat and a Cookie in the same round, Cat is the winner, whatever the other cards on the table are! – except for Good Boys!
Good Boys force ties. No matter what was played, Good Boys are making everyone play another round! If Good Boys are played during a tie (a tie within a tie), then only the players in the tie keep playing.
Character count:
4 Good Boys
4 Cookies
12 Bears
18 Dogs
22 Cats
The special rules
A Catnip occurs when you have a handful of cats. You can choose to call a Catnip and instead of playing the round, you get your four cats as points. Even if a Good Boy is played!
A dogo dash occurs when you have two dogs in hand (Good Boys are not dogs), and you play the first and lose the round. You can use the second dog to “rescue” your dog and both of them become points. You have to be fast, otherwise, the winner will not give your dog back!
Again, Good Boys don’t count as dogs.
All cats are beautiful.
Strategy
By playing Dogo Dash, you can stay alert and see which cards have been played. When you know that character quantities vary, you can use it in your favor and choose the right card at the right time.
For instance: if you paid attention to how many Cookies were played, you can win the last pot with a cat, which is the character beaten by most cards, but wins against Cookie.
Last round
The last round can be decisive since all players chose one last card to play and the rest of the cards in their hands go to the middle of the table. The winner gets all cards in the pot!
