Schmidt Spiele unveils new game spin-off, Agent DOG, at Spielwarenmesse Nuremberg

Berlin and Nuremberg - Four canine agents, donning secret agent-inspired attire, engrossed in a high-stakes game, set the mood for tension and focus. The Germans-based game publisher, Schmidt Spiele, showcases its latest addition to the DOG series, Agent DOG, at this year's Spielwarenmesse®.

For nearly 17 years, Schmidt Spiele has been attracting both young and old with its team-based gameplay mechanism, and the latest installment offers an even more thrilling and challenging experience. Agents uncover hidden enemies through undercover manipulations, engage in cutthroat trading, advance quickly, and meet at tantalizing agent meeting points.

Axel Kaldenhoven, CEO of Schmidt Spiele GmbH, speaks on the importance of the Spielwarenmesse Nuremberg as both a significant industry event and a platform for new releases and brand celebration. The cult series DOG has already made its presence known in households across Germany and Europe, with Agent DOG aiming to continue that success.

The DOG Series at a Glance

Schmidt Spiele's timeline highlights the evolution of the DOG series, starting with the original game in 2008. Subsequent additions include DOG® Royal, Black DOG®, a card game: DOG® Cards, and DOG® Kids, geared towards children. A Harry Potter variation, a licensed product, appeals to Potterheads and DOG® enthusiasts alike, while Agent DOG® challenges players to locate hidden agents on the board. One constant remains: the last player standing will be chased by the dogs!

Agent DOG: A Thrilling Board Game

Agent DOG, a new twist on the classic board game suitable for two to four players aged eight and up, invites players to team up to outwit their opponents. The game mechanics revolve around using hand card values to move one's own figure forward and into the target field, offering advantages when opposing figures are defeated. The game's unpredictability arises when agents go undercover, turning the figures over and revealing hidden identities. Maintaining focus and keeping a clear overview becomes crucial during this stage, as players can move with the secret agents to gain an advantage. Inaccurate moves could result in self-inflicted penalties or elimination. Additional special rules amplify the excitement, transforming the game into a true agent hunt.
