Description
Dog is a popular board game with cards. Your goal is to get all your and your partner’s marbles into the target area before your opponents do. Our app is available for iPhone, Mac, iPad, and iPod touch. It reached repeatedly ranks 2 and 3 of all games in the Swiss App Store, with thousands of ratings at an astonishing average of 4.7 stars, and ranks regularly among the top ranks for card and board game apps in several countries.
In each round you first receive a handful of cards. You have to give one of your cards with your partner, and receive one of his cards. Cards that you play advance your marble. A marble that lands exactly on another marble sends it home. Special cards speed up your moves, by exchanging marble positions, going backwards, or splitting advances over several marbles. When you are done with your own marbles, you have to help your partner, as you can only win together.
Dog for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch lets you play on boards of variable size, and offers a variety of bot players with different characters and strength that you can select as partners or adversaries. In addition we offer the following rule variants:
-
Canadian Seven: A Seven may be split among all of a team’s marbles, including own and partner marbles. Such splits are available during the entire game and not just when all own marbles have reached the target area. This enables more complex moves.
-
Joker cannot win: A Joker may not be used for the final move to enter a team’s last marble and win the game. This prolongs the game and improves the trailing team’s chances to win.
Variants may be selected separately or in combination.
The complexity of the game literally explodes with the Canadian 7 split rule. Millions of different moves are possible in some situations. We had to rebuild almost everything to ensure that even in such cases you can select every possible move without delay, and that our bot players can analyze and compare every single move. We have therefore decided to offer these variants as in-app purchases.
Invite friends to a multiplayer game, or find other players on the Internet! The players see your board and play their cards and marbles on their iPhone, Mac, iPad, or iPod touch. Your devices communicate easily over the Internet via Game Center, or locally (no registrations needed) via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi network. The app supplies bot players on empty game seats, so you can finally play with your friends even if you are missing a third or fourth player.
Blind and visually impaired players can select moves through VoiceOver. We encourage you to get acquainted with the standard VoiceOver features of iOS, and in particular with rotors.

This update fixes two issues that affected some users:
- Bluetooth disconnected during local games with devices running iOS 15.
- Zoom while selecting a marble in voice-over-mode would hide part of the board unnecessarily.
We would like to thank M.T. and P.T. for pointing us to one of these issues.
Dog Board Game Reviews
We were introduced to the board game by our brother in law and his wife when we visited them in Switzerland. We have since been playing it in the States, and introduced it to others here. We were delighted to find that the game is also available on iPad. Which makes it easy to play. The fact that you can invite others over the internet to play is a great feature.
Finally a game like Sorry. This game rocks. The only thing we would like to see added is satistics and different themes. Worth the $4.99.
