Kraken-Alarm (2010)

About this game

With their research ship each player looks to discover animals in the sea. But look out for the big kraken because he will try to entangle your ship in his arms. The game features an innovating tilting mechanism (this is activated when a ship gets caught by the kraken). The player who discovers as many different animals as possible wins the game.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.3/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 5 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
