🦀 Oh Crab! - A Race Like No Other 🦀
🦀 Imagine a daring escape where crabs race to avoid becoming dinner! Their mission? Escape the fryhouse and reach the open waters. It’s a frantic race through trash, sandcastles, and obstacles, dodging hungry gulls and clumsy opponents. Only the fastest crab will reach the water first!
📢 The Kickstarter campaign for Oh Crab! launches today, and we’ve had the chance to try out a prototype from
@smart.flamingo .
🏝️ In Oh Crab!, you play as a crab racing to the sea. Each turn, you play a card from your hand to your display, performing its action and aligning the symbols on the card borders. Matching symbols reward you with extra movement actions or shells. If you bump into an opponent, you push them forward, possibly onto obstacles, forcing them to discard a card.
🔄 Collecting shells allows you to activate special tiles for extra actions. When you play the ‘rest’ card, you take back all your cards and draw a new one from the common display. These cards come with powerful actions. The game ends when a crab reaches the water, winning the race!
🎲 Designed by Bartosz Szopka and Bartłomiej Zielonka, Oh Crab! is for 2-5 players, ages 8+, and takes 40-60 minutes. We think it’s better with more players for maximum fun!
🎨 The funny crab meeples are the stars of the game, and the eye-catching art by Radosław Jaszczuk makes it even more appealing. This game is very streamlined and easy to grasp.
🌊 The main goal is to reach the water first, pushing opponents into tight spots, onto obstacles, and out of your way. The modular board changes every game with obstacles like secret passages and dunes. Perfect for groups that enjoy a bit of friendly competition!
💭 Oh Crab! gave us tons of family fun! Bumping crabs and pushing family members onto umbrellas and pink flamingo floaties proved to be very entertaining. While the game can be strategic, the main focus is on messing around and having fun. Playing Oh Crab! is a blast, keeping everyone laughing!
