DIG

Players are dogs running along a row of Yard cards to dig up colored Bones and carry them back to matching Dog Bowls. On a turn a player can move along the Yard (movement is reduced by bones carried), dig a visible Yard card to add a Bone to their secret hand, and drop Bones only when standing at a Bowl of the corresponding color. Bowls and dug cards shift with a leap-frog replacement mechanic: removing a Yard card brings the furthest card forward, continuously changing which Bowls sit nearest the Dog House. At game end players score only Bones they have delivered to matching Bowls; undelivered Bones do not count. Bones’ point value depends on each Bowl’s distance from the Dog House.
