Culls

Two players, one board and a battle to get five pieces in a row. Culls is one of those games that looks simple, but soon has you on the edge of your seat. Every move counts, because your opponent is always waiting for a chance. Here is how it works: you take turns placing a token on the board with the lobster side facing down. Do you enclose exactly two of your opponent's tokens? Then you flip one of them over, lobster side up. That player has to pick up the lobster on their next turn and place it somewhere else. So you keep a constant eye on each other and the board changes with every move. In about twenty minutes you play a tense game that asks for planning ahead and a bit of nerve. Culls is for two players aged ten and up, and it is perfect for an evening together at the table, where the winner is only clear at the very last moment.
