Dog Board Game2.12 - App Store
You'll be able to see results in few seconds.
Publisher Description
Dog is a popular board game with cards. Your goal is to get all your and your partner's marbles into the target area before your opponents do. Our app is available for iPhone, Mac, iPad, and iPod touch. It reached repeatedly ranks 2 and 3 of all games in the Swiss App Store, with thousands of ratings at an astonishing average of 4.7 stars, and ranks regularly among the top ranks for card and board game apps in several countries.
In each round you first receive a handful of cards. You have to give one of your cards with your partner, and receive one of his cards. Cards that you play advance your marble. A marble that lands exactly on another marble sends it home. Special cards speed up your moves, by exchanging marble positions, going backwards, or splitting advances over several marbles. When you are done with your own marbles, you have to help your partner, as you can only win together.
Dog for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch lets you play on boards of variable size, and offers a variety of bot players with different characters and strength that you can select as partners or adversaries. In addition we offer the following rule variants:
- Canadian Seven: A Seven may be split among all of a team's marbles, including own and partner marbles. Such splits are available during the entire game and not just when all own marbles have reached the target area. This enables more complex moves.
- Joker cannot win: A Joker may not be used for the final move to enter a team's last marble and win the game. This prolongs the game and improves the trailing team's chances to win.
Variants may be selected separately or in combination.
The complexity of the game literally explodes with the Canadian 7 split rule. Millions of different moves are possible in some situations. We had to rebuild almost everything to ensure that even in such cases you can select every possible move without delay, and that our bot players can analyze and compare every single move. We have therefore decided to offer these variants as in-app purchases.
Invite friends to a multiplayer game, or find other players on the Internet! The players see your board and play their cards and marbles on their iPhone, Mac, iPad, or iPod touch. Your devices communicate easily over the Internet via Game Center, or locally (no registrations needed) via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi network. The app supplies bot players on empty game seats, so you can finally play with your friends even if you are missing a third or fourth player.
Blind and visually impaired players can select moves through VoiceOver. We encourage you to get acquainted with the standard VoiceOver features of iOS, and in particular with rotors.
Version History Stability improvements for multi-player games over Game Center 2.12 Feb 24 Made changes in player colors, positions and individual bot characters accessible to VoiceOver. We would like to thank A.T. for testing these improvements. 2.11 09/04/2025 Increased button sizes, fixed some translation issues, and resolved an issue that prevented some users from playing with others locally, via Bluetooth/WiFi. We would like to thank K.F., O.O., G.P., V.S, M.v.S., K.W. for their hints and tests. 2.10 12/19/2024 Resolves an issue on iOS 18.1 that prevented some users from playing with others locally, via Bluetooth/WiFi. We would like to thank K.W. for pointing us to this issue. 2.9.1 12/08/2024 Adapted to iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 2.9 09/15/2024 Adapted to iOS 17 2.8.9 09/13/2023 This update fixes two issues that affected some users:
- Bluetooth disconnected during local games with devices running iOS 15.
- Zoom while selecting a marble in voice-over-mode would hide part of the board unnecessarily.
We would like to thank M.T. and P.T. for pointing us to one of these issues. 2.8.4 12/01/2021 VoiceOver for blind and visually impaired players.
In this update we want to make Dog accessible to blind persons and people with impaired vision. We adapted the app to the use of VoiceOver and particularly the rotor feature. Once you switch on VoiceOver, playing with these aids should be relatively intuitive, at least if you have some experience with other apps using VoiceOver and the rotor. Let us know if you have improvement suggestions.
We would like to thank S.M. warmly for pointing us into this direction and for testing thoroughly. 2.8 11/26/2020 Many of you play Dog together through our app in these challenging times, and we are happy to enable it. For games between couples confined at different homes, we recommend that only two players connect through Game Center, and that the others join locally via Bluetooth/Wi-Fi. Some of you still report issues with Game Center, please take a detailed look at our instructions at dogapp.ch/faq.
This update works around half a dozen further scenarios that can lead to interruptions. The servers seem to be less overloaded, too, but unfortunately we cannot avoid all reasons for instabilities.
"We spent a wonderful evening yesterday with the Dog app. There were problems with the connection, and we had to try several times, but in the end it worked and with an accompanying video call it's almost like normal :-)" 2.7 04/16/2020 Thank you for rank 3 among all games in the Swiss App Store!
We can now work around several issues in games over the Internet, and Apple seems to have improved the reliability of their servers. Nevertheless Game Center is still less stable than we would expect. Check out dogapp.ch/faq to find hints how to play together under current constraints on social distancing.

2.0.2: Stability improvements
2.0.1: Various bug fixes. In particular we fixed two bugs where combinations of rarely used settings within and outside of the app lead to a frozen game or an immediate crash. We thank E.B., P.B., R.B., M.F., A.G., R.G., E.H., M.J., S.K., E.N., V.S., and B.T., whose specific hints pointed us to the source of the errors.

2.0: We are listening to your suggestions and have implemented the most popular ones. We offer now the following rule variants:
- Canadian Seven: A Seven may be split among all of a team's marbles, including own and partner marbles. Such splits are available during the entire game and not just when all own marbles have reached the target area. This enables more complex moves.
- Joker cannot win: A Joker may not be used for the final move to enter a team's last marble and win the game. This prolongs the game and improves the trailing team's chances to win.
Variants may be selected separately or in combination.
The complexity of the game literally explodes with the Canadian 7 split rule. Millions of different moves are possible in some situations. We had to rebuild almost everything to ensure that even in such cases you can select every possible move without delay, and that our bot players can analyze and compare every single move. We have therefore decided to offer these variants as in-app purchases.
We have adopted most of iOS 8 design, but still support older devices running iOS 6 and 7. We further improved the playing strength of our bots in a few specific cases, but did not focus on bot strengthening in this update.

All enhancements are based on samples of specific situations that players sent us through the "Suggestion" button. We were able to solve, generalize and build in all submitted cases pointing to the availability of a really better move.
