It stands out by creating an incredible magnetic attraction: playing it in public means that people will begin to stare, and then they’ll want to join in too. There’s no reason they can’t: the difficulty level is so low that anyone can begin playing straight away. It’s a flash of pure brilliance and enjoyment, where every round is a success and a lasting impression is left behind."

Reviews
Chocolatiers (One Board Gamily): “The simple rules can be explained quickly. Turns are quick so that players are able to avoid much downtime. You’re able to strategize without having to think five or six moves ahead.”

Harvest Dice (Geeks Under Grace): “A cool game with an interesting challenge. Like most games in the roll-and-write genre, it is very portable, easy to bring to a restaurant or on a camping trip. It’s simple enough that kids will quickly understand it, but the clever gameplay twist will hold adults’ interest, as well.”

Dog Rush (GeekDad): “Dog Rush may not be my top quick observation game, but I like it for its portability and simplicity.”
