Description
DESCRIPTION OF THE BOARD GAME KELP: SHARK VS OCTOPUS
This isn't Little Red Riding Hood vs. Beowulf or even Dracula vs. Van Helsing: the heroes of this duel may make an impression: one is quick and cunning, the other is toothy and dangerous, but both feel in their element like a fish in water... literally! Watch the battle in the wild under the ocean water, among the seaweed, where you would never have been if it weren't for the creators of the board game "Kelp: Shark vs. Octopus".
Who will win in this battle for survival: the octopus with its sensitive tentacles-scanners, or the predatory cat shark, which above all else seeks to hunt prey? — you will find out the answer at the end of the game in this strategic board game for two.
LET'S DIVE INTO THE DEEP!
Each of you will have personal goals and opportunities to defeat your opponent: the shark must attack the octopus and defeat it in the final confrontation, and the octopus can win in two ways: either eat all the food blocks, or simply hold out until the end of the game.
The octopus will have to play cards to move around the playing field, it will set various traps for the shark and constantly hide from it, while the predatory fish will mainly operate with cubes to find its slippery treat.
HOW TO PLAY
First, the octopus will walk, then the shark, and then the octopus again. And so on in a circle, until one of the players fulfills the conditions for his victory. If you like strategic thinking and like to balance on the edge, the octopus is your choice. The player playing the octopus aims to survive, but on his turn he must perform two actions out of three possible: play a card, paying its cost in blocks, bring the cards to the limit of his hand, or discard 1 card from his hand to be able to hide one of the blocks from the formidable enemy.
By playing card effects, you can move blocks around the board (swap or shuffle them), hide them, improve your skills by adding better cards to your deck, and eat. When you play all 4 food cards, the octopus wins.
The shark, on the other hand, can become stronger with each turn, improving its own skills and mastering new ones. Each time it will get closer and closer to its prey. Each turn it must perform 2 mandatory actions and can also perform several additional ones. Each time, the player for the shark draws 2 dice from the bag and rolls them, creating a pool of dice for the next steps. The blue sides will allow you to accelerate by placing currents on the playing field, the yellow ones will allow you to search for the octopus by revealing hidden blocks, and the red ones are your attack, use them when you think that an octopus may be under this side. Among the additional actions there is also a growth action - move along the corresponding track to acquire new skills described on the tiles.
When a shark attacks a block where an octopus is hiding, a confrontation occurs, during which each player takes their cards about the incident. You secretly choose 1 confrontation card and place it face down on the table, then reveal them simultaneously. Play continues if the octopus manages to escape, or score an immediate victory for the shark if the player chose a confrontation card that matches the octopus card. This battle is over!
