Kakerlaken-Duell (2017)

About this game

As in every duel, players in Kakerlaken Duell sit opposite one another. Between them is a game board on which stand exactly four cockroaches in four rows. On a turn, one player sets up the stones in front of themselves, one per row with the symbol facing themselves; the other player then reveals one or more of these stones. Can you trick your opponent in making the wrong choices? Can you read their mind while keeping yours hidden? Whoever first lures one of the cockroaches to their side of the board wins!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
