Gameplay

Do a Trick
- Choose a face up trick card, gain any treats on it (if any) and follow its instructions, then turn it face down.

- You may spend a treat to reroll all dice in a roll. You may not only reroll some of the dice.
- If the total of all dice in your yard exceed 7 at any time, you bust. Discard all dice on your dogs and in your yard, then immediately ends your turn.
- If there are only 1 face up trick after a trick is done, place a treat on it and flip all other tricks face up.
- If all your dogs are completed after placing all dice from a roll during a trick, score all your dogs.
Scoring Dogs

- Draw dogs equal to the number of dogs you completed. You must stop when you have exactly 6 dogs.
End of Game
