Littlest Pet Shop Game (Board Game)

The Littlest Pet Shop Game is a board game released in 2006 under two known versions.
==Production==
The first version of the game was released in 2006 with four pets: Rabbit #003, Shorthair Cat #005, Turtle #008, and Boxer #025.
In 2007, a Kohl’s exclusive version was released which included Pig #087 as a bonus pet, and used a metal tin instead of the standard cardboard box. The game itself is identical to the original.
The game was sold into later years, evident by the pet pawns having either a red/pink magnet, blue/gray magnet, or even a peg hole. A German release of the tin was found with the 2005-2007 LPS logo swapped out with the 2008 logo; the updated version was likely sold in other countries as well.
==About the Game==
"Puppy, Kitty, Bunny and Turtle are itching to get out and do some exploring. But they can't dally too long. These little pets have to get back before anyone discovers they're missing. 
Travel around the town and visit the sites, but hurry! If you're the first Littlest Pet to visit the four locations and get back to start, you WIN! Let's give a round of a-paws."
===Contents===
The game pieces included in the box are as follows:
*Gameboard
*4 Littlest Pet Shop Pet Pawns (5 in the Kohls excl. version)
*16 Tokens 
*Spinner (spinner card, arrow, & base)
The spinner must be assembled before playing.
===How to Play===
Each player (up to 4 people) places their pet on the start/finish space in the center of the gameboard. The tokens are then separated by color and placed next to their respective locations: pink for the Playhouse, green for the Salon, yellow for the Playground, and blue for the Diner. The youngest player will go first and rotate turns to the left.
====Using the Spinner====
When it is their turn, the player uses the spinner to see how many spaces they can move on the gameboard, for a max of 6 spaces. Follow the arrows as you go. Pet pawns can share the same space, and the player must move the full number of spaces that they spun.
====Collecting Tokens====
Landing on a Paw space grants you a token of the corresponding color: 
*If you don't have that color of token, collect it and end your turn.
*If you already have a token of that color, end your turn.
Landing on a Monkey space lets you take a token from another player:
*Take one token from any player, and end your turn.
*If none of the players have a color of token that you need, do not collect a token, and end your turn.
Landing on a Flower space ends your turn.
====Returning Home====
Once a player collects all four color tokens, they will continue to spin until they reach the Start/Finish space. Your turn ends when you land on the Start/Finish space, regardless of the number that you spun.
If you reach the Start/Finish before collecting all of the tokens, you must continue forward from the start until you have collected them all. Once collected, spin until you reach the Start/Finish again.
The first player to collect all 4 tokens and make it to the Start/Finish space wins!
