Listen all of you, bellyslitherers! Gather around… and prove your mettle!
There’s no peace on Gastropodia Islands. Especially not when all kinds of snails grab their weapons and face each other in deadly combat. Each squad is ready to show the other mollusks who’s the boss. They’ll do anything to stand victorious. Bazookas, Molotov cocktails, mines, barrels full of toxic waste, axes and swords… These are their tools of the trade used with blinding speed unusual for rather slow creatures.
And where will you be? Well, that’s pretty clear – right there, at the snail vanguard, leading your squad to victory!
Snails is a dynamic game for 2-4 players ready to command squads of pumped up mollusks in pitched battle. Each squad is led by a unique Hero who grants their subordinates special abilities and enhances their chances to win by eliminating opponents with an assortment of funny weapons.
The combat takes place on a dozen islands, which get destroyed as the game progresses. Your snail may end up in water in not time and see for themselves that marine pollution is real! Additionally, by excavating more and more island levels you may encounter all kinds of surprises – from new gear, to mean crabs to lethal barrels.
Simple and intuitive rules of Snails are based on action planning. Just secretly choose 5 Action Cards and 2 snails from your squad to perform them, then watch the mayhem that you cause! Of course assuming that your rivals don’t outsmart you and eliminate your troops before they get to act… Add to this Heroes’ special abilities, tens of various Action Cards representing weapons or special attacks and custom dice and you will end up with a great gaming experience.
Fast, but strategic and competitive gameplay, immersive and funny artwork by “Djib” Reynaud – a world-famous French illustrator, high replayability thanks to various game modes and battle scenarios… All this guarantees that you and your friends will have great fun whenever you play Snails.
