Mancala
Ancient board game, modern beatdown. Face off against Bella (easily distracted puppy), Coop (the arcade owner with game), or Bentley (the legendary champion). Scoop seeds, drop strategically, and work your way up to beat the ultimate boss. Can you join the elite few who've defeated Bentley?

Three dogs, one engine at three depths. Your pick is remembered across the arcade.
