Gizmo's in trouble. McDuff is in the dog house. Roll the dice and see what the dogs are up to now... Match the two dice to a square on your bingo board, then mark that square with a bone. It's not easy to sniff out the mischief! Roll "Dog Gone" and, doggonit, you forfeit a bone. The first to mark four squares in the corners or four squares in a row wins. Hot dog!

Dog Dice is a great game for families to play together. You can win no matter what your age. All you need is a keen eye, a sense of humor, and a little luck. Dog Dice is lots of fun, but it also helps build critical learning skills, like visual scanning and discrimination. If you're mathematically minded, try to figure out possibilities of different picture combinations. (We'll start you out - it's twice as easy to roll Gizmo or Stretch as it is to roll McDuff or Gigi.) The social skills the game teaches are just as important, though. There's no better way to learn the value of patience, discipline, and good sportsmanship than to play a great game!
