In this game, each player controls three dog tokens that are placed on an inner "sidewalk" track. A dog catcher truck is placed on an outer "road" track. On a turn, you spin the spinner and move both one of your dogs and the truck the number of spaces indicated. Whenever the truck lands on road space adjacent to a sidewalk space, it captures all the dogs on that space, including those of the player whose turn it is. Dogs on a "doghouse" space are safe from capture, but they must leave that space the next turn. If the truck lands on a Dog-Gone space, the player whose turn it is may return 1 of his or her captured dogs to the sidewalk. Play continues until only 1 player has a dog (or dogs) left on the board, and that player is the winner.
