Your dog is scratching at the front door because it is time for your daily walk in the park. Try to make it as fun as possible, but also avoid the temptations your dog might encounter. Paw by Paw is a competitive roll and write, print and play game for 1 to 99 players ages 10+.
In Paw by Paw, players walk their dog around the park over sixteen rounds, finding bushes to pee in, other animals or people to interact with, or even some unique spots in each park that present a different challenge each time. Players choose a dog with a unique talent and each round they roll three dice and perform three actions in this specific order: Move, Sniff and Play. Their goal is to keep their dog as happy as possible to earn points at the end of the game. The player with the most points is the winner and their dog wins the Golden Dog Ribbon!
Grab some pencils and dice and take your dog for a Paw by Paw walk in the park.
