Board Game - Puppies

Who is the best boy here? 

A hunt for lost toys has been declared in the dog park! Playful puppies are jumping and wagging their tails in anticipation – to win (and get a tasty bone), they will have to sniff every bush, dig properly in the ground, and follow all the commands of their beloved owners. Who will find the most toys and become the tail-wagging champion? Let's find out! On your marks, get set, BARK! 

"Puppies" is a funny and incredibly cute children's game. Join the company of cheerful puppies and prove that you are the main champion among fluffy treasure hunters! Playing this board game is easier than saying the word "bark" – roll the dice, move your puppy around the park, reveal tokens, and collect finds before time runs out. Among the tokens with finds, there are also command tokens. If a player draws such a token, they will literally have to become a mischievous puppy for a moment – growl, bark loudly, give a paw to a neighbor, or scratch behind their ear. The tokens collected by the player bring victory points, and the puppy with the most points at the end of the game will receive the title of the most agile tail!

How to play?
On your turn, flip the hourglass – you have exactly 1 minute! During this time, you need to manage to move your puppy from the start, run to the digging spots, find up to 3 finds, and return back.

Two types of actions:

Run – roll the dice and move your puppy the number of spaces that come up (or less). You can run in any direction as many times as you like!
Search – while standing on a space with a digging spot, take a token from the corresponding pile and turn it over.
What can you find:

Finds (green background) – ropes (2 points), bones (3 points), or balls (4 points). You can collect a maximum of 3 finds per turn.
Commands (blue background) – fun tasks that need to be completed: bark, howl, scratch, give a paw, and others. Each command earns 1 point.

End of turn
If you managed to return to the start: keep all the collected tokens face down – great!
If time runs out, and the puppy is not at the start: keep only 1 find (face down), return the rest to the digging spots and shuffle them. All the commands stay with you!

Special command “Fetch!” – toss a token above the table, and the first one to cover it with their hand will take it!

How to win?
The game ends when all the tokens in the digging spots are gone. Flip your tokens face up and count the points:
- Ropes – 2 points
- Bones – 3 points
- Balls – 4 points
- Any command – 1 point
Whoever has the most points wins! In case of a tie, the winner is the one with the most command tokens. If there is still a tie, victory is shared!
