If you are a dog lover like so many of us you enjoy providing a good home for Fido, but could you imagine taking care of several dogs all at once, in fact other people’s canines. You’ll find out if you are up to the task in this game simulator created for windows.
Your dear ailing Aunt Marian is in need of your help and asks you to take over all aspects of running the dog-sitting service. You begin the game on a limited budget with only $250 in the businesses account. This must cover all costs including; dog food, supplies for cleaning and grooming and dog toys to keep them from getting bored.
This is more of a small business simulator than a computer game since your duties will mirror that of an actual small business owner, incorporating the often mundane tasks of; feeding, grooming, exercising them and teaching them a few dog tricks along the way.
You are graded by the three bars that are situated next to the cage and the more favorable the score the better the business’s credibility becomes.
This is not the easiest game to navigate through and even the simplest of tasks can seem daunting at times. Even filling up the food and water dishes can seem challenging the first time through this game.
This game was created by Tivola Publishing for Viva Media and is for players 6 and up.

Where you draw the line is entirely up to you in this fun, entertaining and easy to play game. All that you need to get started is a pen and paper and basic understanding of how to play the game. We all remember the simplified version Tic-Tac-Toe. Now a twist has been added; instead of the standard three, four marks in a row are needed to create a line. This can be in any direction vertical horizon or diagonal.
You start by drawing a ten by ten grid containing 100 squares or you can draw a larger grid with more squares if you prefer, that is entirely up to the players in the game and agreed upon before play begins. Different letters of the alphabet are assigned to each player which represents their personal mark.
The game begins with the first player marking any one square of his choice with his assigned letter in an attempt to line up four of his letters. If the participants in game decide to make the grid with more than just the standard 100 squares, the patterns become more complex and interesting. It might be fun to try playing this game on a standard sheet of graph paper and require six in a row instead of four to form a string.
For an added twist, why not agree before-hand to require two strings instead of the standard one to win and allow then to be joined at any point on the grid. You will see all sorts of interesting patterns developing; from T’s to L’s to V’s.
