Slip. Steal. Sabotage. Win.

01 Welcome to the city

Good dogs.
Bad decisions.

Doghouse Derby drops you into a city of speakeasy scams, butcher-shop deals, and double-crossing dogs—all chasing the same precious bones.

The rules stay approachable. The decisions get personal. Every hand builds toward the kind of reversal your table will talk about after the box closes.

One goalOwn the Bone Cards before the whole city turns on you.
01

The underworld

Every alley has a bone economy.

Bulldogs guard the door, cards change paws, and the whole block knows when the derby is on.
02

The high life

Classy dogs. Dirty plays.

The prettiest hand in the room can still hide the meanest trick card.
03

The chase

Loose cards. Fast paws.

One bad play sends the whole pack through butcher stalls and back streets.
02 How the derby runs

Easy to enter. Hard to forget.

Read the table.
Wreck the plan.

Build a pack, protect your bones, and play the perfect dirty trick before another dog does it to you.

real character.

A growing cast of dogs, trouble, and precious bones.
