- Mother dog in her kennel. When you press her, she barks once, twice or three times.
- One game board
- Four different coloured puppies
- Twelve bones (in four different colours)
- Game rules
Before You Start
Place the game board on a table and put Mother dog in the middle. Remove the plastic strip from the base of the battery compartment. Place the bones coloured side down on the board. Mix up the bones so nobody can remember the colours. Next, place a bone in every "hole" on the game board. Each player chooses a puppy and puts it in the matching coloured kennel on the corner of the game board.
For Two or Three Players
Use all of the bones and place them in the "holes" on the board. Each player chooses one puppy. The bones for the colour puppy not in play remain on the game board.
For two players, you may both choose to play with two puppies.
To Start the Game
The youngest player starts the game. Give Mother dog a pat and press on her back. She starts to bark. You must count how many times she barks: once, twice or three times. You may move your puppy the same number of spaces on the board. The squares with paw prints on the board indicate the playing area. Players are free to move around the board in any direction they choose, so each new turn you may decide where to move your puppy. The puppies move across the squares with the paw prints.
You may choose the direction in which to move your puppy. When your puppy stops on a square, turn him towards the bone. Push his nose against the bone and he will pick it up.
Check and see if the bone matches the colour of your puppy.
- Yes! Put the delicious bone in your kennel. Your puppy stays on this square. The next player takes a turn.
- No! The bone matches another puppy. Show the other players the colour of the bone and put it back with the coloured side facing down. The next player takes a turn.
A Few More Rules
Before you move your puppy, you may decide which direction you want to move him. But you may not change direction during your turn. So, if Mother dog barks three times, you may not move two spaces forward and then one backward.
If your puppy finds a "hole" without a bone, too bad. Your turn is over.
If your puppy lands on the same space as another puppy, that puppy must go back to his kennel.
Who Wins?
The first puppy to put all three matching bones in his kennel wins the game.
