Dog Park + New Tricks Expansion - Review For Two

A review and overview of both Dog Park base game and the 2024 expansion Dog Park New Tricks. Dog Park is a fairly light, fast-paced game about walking some of the cutest dogs you've ever seen. We give a quick how to play, and then talk about how everything works, what comes in the box, what the best player count is, how the solo mode works, and what the expansion adds to the mix.

I knew I wanted to have this game but your video bumped it up on my wishlist from "love to have" to "must have". I love the art. I love dogs. Enough said.

My favorite dog themed game is maybe my own prototype at the moment but only considering published games? It might be Dog Park.

My favorite dog... That's a hard question and it changes almost weekly. At the moment I would say... A wire-haired dachshund (at least that's what Google tells me it is called in English). I just love those little guys. They always look old and wise but they are... sly dogs.

Saw this aat the NEC in Birmingham. I loved the art work, but didn't know the mechanics of the game. After watching this, I've realised that it's a must, I really like how it combines strategies of some of my own favourite games like Parks. The warm feeling as you play is a bonus. I love the meeples and other bits too. Definitely a game for me, along with the expansion it'll remain a firm favourite of mine for a long while.
