Dog Nerd

A dog show in a box, this card game will determine which of these fifty breeds is the champion.

The Scottish Terrier or the Bichon Frise? The Great Dane or the Dalmatian?

While dogs may be man’s best friend, this game is here to decide who the goodest boy really is.

To play, pass the cards out until none remain—but no peeking! In turns, flip the first card in your pile and pick from one of six categories: Cuteness, Size, Intelligence, Scrappiness, Loyalty, and Friendliness. Each has a numerical value. Read one out, and if your pooch beats the rest, take all the played cards from that round. Play until one winner claims the entire kennel.Marta Zafra is a Spanish-born illustrator.
