Crab Stack
Players control families of crabs that gradually form stacks across a board of islands and water. Each player has nine crabs in three sizes, placed randomly at the start. On a turn, one crab moves exactly one, two, or three spaces according to its size, landing on another crab of the same size or smaller and pinning it in place. Crabs cannot move over open water, and moves that split the group wash away the smaller section. A player who has no legal move is eliminated; the last player to make a move wins.
