Tradition has it that early settlers in Quebec, Canada developed a game called "Tock." A Swiss lady learned the game in Canada, copied it on a piece of paper, and took it back to Switzerland in 1982. She began making the game, calling it "Dog" (due to a linguistic misunderstanding).
I was introduced to a version of Dog in Europe in 2011, and it immediately became my favorite. Like the Swiss lady, I traced the game on a piece of paper, brought it back to Michigan, and made my own game out of a piece of plywood. When I asked my good friend Quint Thocher (who also happens to be our daughter''s father-in-law) to help me cut my game into pieces so it could be used for 4, 6, or 8 players, he responded by creating a new design and taught me how to make it, start to finish.
