The board game is intended for families with children and anyone who likes to play. Players will learn interesting curiosities about dogs and their behaviour. A Dog’s Life contains a minimum amount of text and thanks to this, it is very easy and can be played even by very young players.Today, A Dog’s Life is available in English, and Spanish, German, French and Japanese versions are in the making. “We are happy that after a long period of development, the game is getting into the hands of families, dog lovers, players from all over the world and simply anyone who likes the theme. We believe that you, too, will enjoy the game as we do and that you will spend pleasant moments with it,” says Frank Salat, the founder and managing director of BETON GAMES.
The family game was invented by Christophe Boelinger, a French game designer who is the author of games such as Archipelago, Dungeon Twister and Draco Mundis. A Dog’s Life is a unique game because the players experience it from the point of view of a dog. A Dog’s Life was first published by Jeux Descartes in 2001 and the game was completely sold out several times. We have now decided to publish a second edition and we have reworked the game to make it more entertaining and swifter.
The new edition additionally contains 6 manually painted coloured game pieces representing popular dog breeds. “The game board is a hand-drawn picture depicting the charming town of Dogville, which is an ideal playground for the entire family and friends. It was masterfully created by the graphic artist Marek Píza,” comments Zdenek Blazek who is responsible for managing the project and the publication of the new edition of A Dog’s Life.
The selection of a manufacturer who would be able to manufacture the dog miniatures and paint them in great detail was also of key importance. Eventually, the requirements were met by manufacturers in China who work for companies such as Marvel or McDonald’s. Thanks to this, the dog game pieces have been made in premium quality. “We wanted them to be as faithful renditions of the breeds as possible. Eventually, the game pieces were created according to our vision by Erick Sosa and David Pereira Ezcurra, renowned modellers who collaborate with companies such as Hasbro and Gentle Giant on projects such as Star Wars, Marvel and DC,” adds Thomas Bodesinsky, a 2D designer and author of the motif.
The game also signed up on Kickstarter where the basic notion is that people will help interesting, innovative and independent projects come to life. This service is based on direct funding from other people who decide with their contributions whether the given project will succeed or not. Thanks to this, essentially only those projects, which offer people something they miss, capture people’s interest with their visions and bring something interesting, will succeed. “As it has been demonstrated by a lot of projects, which standard corporate distributors considered to be uninteresting, unnecessary or unwanted, crowdfunding enables projects to appeal directly to those end customers, for whom they are intended and who are thus given the power to decide how much wrong the corporate executives were. The reason is that people care if you do something for people and not for money,” comments Frank Salat.
