Dog Park

I've been on the hunt for a mid-weight game that provides a good blend of strategy and fun, and Dog Park has hit the spot. It's got this cool set-collection and point-to-point movement system, making it feel fresh and engaging. The game's description does a great job of outlining the four phases: recruitment, selection, walking, and home time. It's a clever setup that keeps the players constantly engaged in strategic decision-making.

I've always enjoyed games with a good theme, and Dog Park's canine theme is adorable. The art is truly beautiful, and it really adds to the immersive experience. I also have to give a shout-out to the solo mode. It's fantastic for those times when I just want to play a quick game by myself. It doesn't feel like a watered-down version, it's a solid solo experience.

While it shares some similarities with Wingspan, Dog Park definitely holds its own. The mechanics are unique enough to make it feel like its own game, and the game itself is just plain fun. I've played it with friends and family, and everyone has enjoyed it. If you're looking for a game that's easy to learn but still provides a good challenge, give Dog Park a try. You won't be disappointed.
