Summary:
If you're a dog lover you'll have a blast playing this game; if you don't have a dog, you'll get to be one in the game A Dog's Life. The unique board game has beautiful illustrations and a fun themed board that goes hand in hand with the creative game play. You'll need to try and find three dog bones and burry them to become the winner but doing so will, at times, is a little more challenging than it sounds.
Great for the whole family, A Dog's Life is as much education as it is fun as you learn more about an actual dog's life, its habits and its strengths. Learning how to play is quick and easy thanks to the wonderfully put together game rules with examples and helpful pictures. This game is on presale so keep an eye on this when it comes out. It definitely won't be one you want to miss.
Board Game Capital's Review:
Review Completed (2017-05-21)

A Dog's life is wonderfully illustrated with a lot of nice hidden dog references all throughout the board (such as signs and building being made out of dog bones). The build quality of the game board, pieces, playing cards and even the user tokens (figurines of different dogs) is superb. Much better than cheap games you find at big box stores. It all fits nicely in a sturdy storage box with fun reflective ink.
First thing we saw when pulling the lid off was a nice rule book sitting there. After picking it up you realize this is a miniature book with multiple pages. Depending on the version you get you could have upwards to 12 pages or more. Seems daunting but when you open it up you find lots of illustrations, explanations and examples – thank you for the examples! Much detail was given to making things as clear as possible while keeping things as short and simple as they could. It took us about 15 minutes to go through the rules. At the end, we weren't confused or overwhelmed (like sometimes we have been with other games) but rather excited and ready to play the game. The rules walk you through the game play explaining things on the way which helps to not overload your brain. We did notice that there are different variations of the game that you can incorporate although we have not tried them yet.

There is a lot you can do on each of your turns so there is a fair amount to keep track of. After a few rounds you get accustomed to it fairly quickly and it becomes second nature. This could be seen as a draw back to some players; there is always a learning curve. While we listed one small criticism we might as well add a couple more.

There is also a collector's edition available (perhaps for a limited time) that gives you 25 different dogs.
If you are a dog owner, there is no better game than this one. If you have ever seen a dog, you'll enjoy playing this game as you step inside a dog's life and deal with their simple daily challenges. A Dog's Life is a nice, lighthearted, intriguing, unique and stimulating board game for the whole family.
If you can successfully find and burry three different dog bones in your den then you will be the winner.

A friend told me about this game (don't know how she knew since it's not even out yet) but after looking through the game rules this looks so fun!! I can't wait for it (and yes I'm a dog lover).
