About this game

Objective: A player wins once one of his pieces have crossed the board, and is in the goal box. Each player has 9 pieces. There are 3 types of pieces, with a different power: The Shark can eat even a friendly piece. The Octopus can cover an enemy or friend piece (except another Octopus), they move together and Octopus release the covered piece at any time. The Flying Fish can jump over one or more friends or enemy pieces, but always linear. The ability to cover or eating the own pieces allows to develop interesting strategies.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
