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. ## Key features - Partner marble movement - AI opponents with varying strengths - Online and local multiplayer - Variable board sizes - Special card abilities - Rule variants (Canadian Seven, Joker cannot win) ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: $7.99. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | "Canadian 7" | $2.99 | one-time | | "Joker cannot win" | $0.99 | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (10 of 41) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/dog-board-game/id458599976/reviews.md ### 4/5 — Great game of skill and chance *2026-04-12, version 2.12* We were introduced to the board game by my 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. ### 5/5 — Einfach nur Spitze *2026-02-26* Ich liebe Dog und in dieser App ist das Spiel wirklich mit allem Drum und Dran perfekt umgesetzt. Die KI tut sich manchmal etwas schwer mit der kanadischen 7, das ist bei den mathematischen Möglichkeiten aber denke ich zu verzeihen. Was ich noch spannend fände (auch wenn es nicht vorgesehen ist) wäre ein Spielmodus, wo man auch mit einer geraden Anzahl Spieler Solo spielen kann, einfach nur für noch mehr Abwechslung. ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-12-09, version 2.11* It’s fun and addictive ### 3/5 — Improvement *2025-11-06* Il manque des fonctionnalités pour modifier des règles de jeu et les fonctions de certaines cartes pour rendre le jeu plus complexe et plus riche en stratégie voir les règles du Tock **Developer response:** Vous pouvez modifier les règles de jeu sur la page Réglages dans l'app. Nous avons reçu plus qu'une trentaine de variations des règles au cours des années et ajouté les plus populaires. Si vous cherchez la complexité, essayez le Sept Canadien, une variante normalement jouée aux tournois. Notez que notre app réalise le jeu Dog, le jeu de société le plus joué en Suisse des dernières années. Il est semblable au Tock et à d'autres variantes du Pachisi indien, mais pas identique. ### 5/5 — Super Spiel *2025-04-08* Top umgesetztes Brettspiel. ### 5/5 — Muy bueno *2024-09-23, version 2.9* Me gusta mucho quisiera una version con mas dificultad no se si la tienen disponible ### 5/5 — Great way to learn the rules!! *2024-03-17, version 2.8.9* Setting up multiplayer online had gotten better. The bots are pretty good. Definately a fun game to play. I'm addicted! ### 4/5 — Dommage… *2023-10-25* Dommage de ne pas pouvoir modifier plus de règles… - utiliser le valet dès la sortie - le 4 ne sert qu’à aller en arrière - l’as ne sert pas à faire 11 - interdiction de dépasser quelqu’un - ne jeter qu’une carte quand on est bloqué par un invincible Il y a tellement de règles différentes à ce jeu… **Developer response:** Nous nous tenons aux règles qui se jouent en Suisse et sont publiées par les plus grands producteurs de plateaux. Nous avons collectionné plus qu'une trentaine de variantes suggérées par nos utilisateurs. Nous en avons réalisées les deux les plus populaires, qui se jouent aussi à la plupart des tournois. Nous allons considérer en ajouter d'autres au fur du temps. Nous allons ajouter vos variantes à notre collection. Pourriez-vous nous envoyer des définitions précises, par un exemple sur un site Internet ou par moyen d'un scan d'un document? Vous trouverez une manière de nous contacter dans l'app et dans l'App Store. ### 5/5 — Accro *2023-07-29* Complètement accro ### 5/5 — Recommend *2023-05-27* Wish I could buy the actual Brandi Dog game in NZ, but this is a good alternative! ## Frequently asked questions about Dog Board Game ### What is Dog Board Game?
