Playtime Pooch Party - A Fun and Wet Board Game Splash!
🐾 Soakin' Good Times with Soggy Doggy 🐾
Looking for a wet 'n' wild good time? Look no further! Soggy Doggy, from the fun-loving folks at John Adams, has got you covered. With summer in full swing, there's no better time to dive into this quirky bathtub game!
This game is a splashtastic blend of laughter and unpredictability. The setup is straightforward - pop the toy dog into the tub, fill it with水, and slap on the outside of the dog. Don't forget to grab some batteries, because you'll need those bad boys! Once everything's set up, simply place the doggo's tub onto the board. The board functions as a bath mat around the tub, ensuring everyone stays dry and doesn't slip while playing.
Each player picks a token to represent themselves, be it a bone, a paw print, or a bar of soap. These tokens come in different colors, making it easy for little ones to keep track of who's who.
Your turn begins by rolling a die with colored sides. If you land on a color, move your token to the matching spot on the board and perform the corresponding action – twist or push one of the taps. If you roll the question mark side, you get another chance to roll! The goal of the game is to make it back to your dog bed on the board. And here's the twist – when you twist the tap, you might trigger the doggo to start shaking, drenching everyone within range!
Pushing down on the tap will shower the doggy with water, but it's usually the spinning tap that gets the doggo a-quiverin'. Return to the starting spot if the dog shakes, but you'll receive a special token that can be used during your next turn to avoid going back.
Soggy Doggy is simple, visually entertaining, and keeps players on their toes, waiting for the dog to surprise them. While we found the game could have been a bit more drenched, we suspect we might regret that choice if the pooch started giving us a real soaking! All in all, Soggy Doggy stands out from the typical games we've played, and we can't wait to play it again!
