Tortuga (2007)

About this game

This 2-player game is played on an hexagonal grid. Each player controls 8 turtles on his side of the board. The winner is the one who will send one of his turtles to the opponent's side. Turtles can be moved one step forwards, or jump over other turtles. Jumping over an opponent's turtle neutralizes it, while jumping over a neutralized turtle activates it again - on either side. Re-implements: Die Papalapagos-Spring-Käfer

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.8/5 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.
