Smart Dog Obstacle Run is a compact SmartGames puzzle built around a dog's obstacle course. The box contains a game board with lid, a dog figure, a trainer figure, six obstacle pieces and a challenge booklet.
The player picks a challenge card and places the indicated pieces on the board. You then have to arrange the remaining obstacles so that they form one unbroken path from the dog to its trainer, using every obstacle exactly once. Each challenge has only one correct solution, printed at the back of the booklet.
The game includes 60 challenges rising from easy to expert level, so it keeps offering something new even after repeated play. The board with lid measures 24.1 x 17.1 x 5.6 cm and weighs 0.38 kg, making it easy to take along on trips or to grandma's. The box states an age of 7 years and up, and the game is for 1 player.
Thanks to its compact size and rising difficulty, it makes a nice gift for children who enjoy logic puzzles, while still offering a challenge for adults.
