Do Not Pass Go!
As if childhood didn’t last long enough, the Late for the Sky people have come out with Puppy-opoly, the little kid version of Dog-opoly. It, in turn, is the canine version of Mono-poly. Sense a pattern? Getting it absolutely right, this puppy-themed version is aimed, surprisingly, at kids from five to eight. So there are puppy tokens, get stuck in the doghouse or obedience school and hoard treats rather than the far more demanding hotels and apartments of garden variety people-opoly. And because it is for children and therefore has to have some educational component, the kids supposedly pick up lots of useful information and training tips. But education be damned, they seem perfectly content to be puppies gathering treats for as long as the game lasts. Which, as you know, could be sometime around forever.
*Puppy themed version of Monopoly
*NO banker necessary. Just like real life!
*Includes 48 bones, a packet of Treats (money) in denominations of 1 through 5, 28 Obedience School cards, 16 deed cards, one die

Product Features
Puppy-opoly is the “little kid” version of the popular Dog-opoly board game. The box says this game is for ages 5-8, but we know better. We’re pretty sure “kids” of all ages will enjoy this game. Heck, everyone loves puppies! The object of the game is to be the player with the most “Treats” at the end of the game. It’s like Monopoly, except you collect deeds for puppies rather than real estate. The deeds contain photos of puppies of various types as well as general information about that particular breed. Additionally, the cards provide kids with useful training tips for their puppies. Any time you can have fun and learn at the same time, that’s a great thing!
I think the “Woofiness” index should be higher!
