The Hair of the Dog print-and-play just received a major rules update. We reworked the pet conditions mechanic to be simpler and encourage more player communication. If you haven’t tried Hair of the Dog yet, go do it! Tell us what you think and we’ll donate funds to the Humane Society. If you want to read about the design changes, then continue reading. Don’t let us stop you.
Between our Tabletop Simulator mod and the world opening back up, we’re able to get more playtesting reps with Hair of the Dog. It’s great to see people loving the concept and trying to pet all the pups. We want to make this game real and get to Kickstarting it, but there are a couple of design issues to tackle first. Hair of the Dog needs to be both enjoyable at all player counts and have that undeniable Cherry Picked feeling.
