Crumbs (2020)

About this game

Crumbs is a game reenacting the intense battles that probably occur every day right outside your doorstep. A sweet, innocent little granny has decided to spend the day enjoying the warm and welcoming sun by tossing some bread crumbs to the local fauna. She remains blissfully unaware, however, of the vicious wars occurring over her precious bread crumbs. Players take on the role of either the ducks, pigeons, squirrels, or chipmunks. Each group of animals provides its own special abilities while players scuffle over the spaces in the park. Players try to gain the best position before the big crumb drop in which 20 crumbs are dropped onto the board, spreading out at random and turning the tides of power for better, or for worse. —description from the publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.5/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
