Boilerplate

Barkopolis is a kid-friendly 4X strategy game in which six dog empires compete for a single backyard. Players explore a fog-covered hex map, found cities, research a five-era tree of dog technologies, trade Treats and resources, sway rivals at the Grand Dog Council, and pursue five distinct victories — cultural, scientific, domination, diplomatic, and the turn-300 Best in Show. Its one unbreakable rule: nobody dies. Defeated pups Tail-Tuck and run home, spies get marched home with their ears down, and cities won by culture simply "vote with their paws." Barkopolis is free, browser-based, offline-capable, and contains no ads, purchases, accounts, or trackers.
