Search 2028

Search is a medium-weight board game where players take on the role of training a search and rescue dog. Players visit a multitude of training locations where dice, the physical embodiment of your dog’s natural characteristics, will help to sharpen your dog’s skills in an effort to find missing people and abandoned evidence. Choose to specialize in one training field or create the most well-rounded dog in this multiple paths to victory game.

Search is a bag-building, dice-worker game with specific mini games to make players feel like they are working through the different modalities of search and rescue dog training. Players will draw paths through maps as they progress their tracking training, gain search quadrants from their commanding officers and place pieces onto grid to cover search areas; all in an effort to be considered for call-out status.
