From the rules: Take home your new best friend! In Adopt-A-Dog, every player gets a chance to adopt and nurture a lovable puppy. Once players sort through the dogs' items and collect 3 of their dogs' favorite toys, players can take home and care for their new pets! For ages 3+ Adopt-A-Dog is a VERY simple set-collection and trading game for very young children. It plays fast and is easy for young children to learn. I would not suggest this game for children over 6 as they will get bored very quickly.
