During the game, each player (a different dog) plays behavior cards to gain attention from “the human”. Once they've gotten enough attention, players can spend it to complete objectives like Get Belly Rubs or Go to the Park.

Trixie thought she was soooo smart and that I’m very easily manipulated (not wrong). Her sass and silliness inspired me to create Treat, Please!, coming soon from Solis Game Studio!

The hardest part about reading Yu-Gi-Oh! cards is the text box contains both game rules set, summoning text, and finally rules text. They aren't always listed in that order on the card. This game is OLD. Here's an attempt at re-templating Yu-Gi-Oh! cards in an attempt to make them more readable. This assumes some game rules are removed from the card and added to the game system.
