Bark Avenue (EN) - board game

Product detailed description

Bark Avenue is a competitive route optimization, pick-up and deliver game that takes you through a day in the life of a dog walker in Upper Manhattan. Players juggle the challenge of walking several dogs at once while managing competing needs, including walk length, preferred activities, bathroom breaks, and compatibility with other dogs in the pack.

Your goal is to optimize your route, return dogs on time, and determine which dogs to walk next, all while navigating the bustling city streets. Use public transportation to your advantage to position yourself for the best walks, and maximize your time for pickups and dog-related activities like visiting pet shops.

As you advance in your dog-walking career, your good ratings unlock new abilities, such as walking more dogs simultaneously, taking dogs off-leash at the park, and performing more end-of-turn actions. But be careful—returning dogs late can lead to losing out on the pay!

With gameplay lasting 45 minutes to 1 hour, Bark Avenue is a Gateway+ game that offers fun for new players and deep strategy for more experienced gamers. Dog lovers will especially enjoy this unique and engaging challenge of balancing the needs of furry companions while navigating a competitive and dynamic environment!
