Best Dog Themed Board Games For Very Young Dog Lovers


puppy-opoly gift for young dog lovers
Interactive Board Game Puppy-Opoly

Parents enjoy playing this game, patterned after Monopoly, as much as the kids do. In Puppy-Opoly players buy puppies instead of properties, go to the doghouse instead of jail and receive payment in treats not money. Players are required to bark for their treats, which are the currency of this board game. Here, players pick Dog Obedience cards instead of Chance cards. Kids love the dog obedience cards because they are asked to act out different dog behaviors such as roll over, chase your tail, beg and of course "High-Pawing" other players. For ages 5-8; two to four players.

For older players there is Dog-Opoly. Also based on Monopoly, the board game uses money and breed cards for real estate are arranged by breed size. Each dog "Deed" is fill with fun facts about that breed. This game can be played two ways, standard play and a "one hour" game play, which many parents will appreciate.
