Dog Park

Players act as dog walkers who recruit, walk, and care for dogs over four rounds. Each round features a recruitment phase where players bid reputation to add dogs to their kennels, a selection phase to choose which dogs to lead, a walking phase of point-to-point movement through the park to collect resources and interact with other walkers, and a home time phase that scores walked dogs and penalizes unwalked ones. Players plan routes, balance which dogs to bring, and manage reputation as a resource to optimize points; the highest reputation at the end of the game wins.
