Funagle, by Darf Inc, works like this: Players have one minute to "funagle" their dog into performing activities called out on removable tags that make up the game board. To funagle is to use your voice, treats and gestrures to get a dog to do a task. If your dog does the activity, you win a tag. Tags are stored on bone-shaped carabiners. The player with the most tags on their carabiner at the end of the games wins.
