This is quite similar to a game I've played at my grandparents house called Train to Mexico. In fact, I think it might be the same thing, just under a different name. This could have used music. I still enjoyed it for the most part. Yeah, that's really only because I'm good in it. It's easy to play.
At the same time, that's a bit of an inconvienience. It's just too easy. Still, it's cool to win a game I've played in real life. It does seem authentic to the original game. I don't know where the pitbull comes from.
