Created as my first project for CTIN 488 (Game Design Workshop). We had to redesign a kids’ board game called Up the River–a game about getting boats to the top of a board with rotating pieces. We chose to base our game on dogs trying to live on the street and escape dogcatchers. Our game became one about survival, and as such included more obstacles and cards to help you stay alive or impede your opponents.

You can download the rules, pieces, and game board at the Dropbox link provided.
