Duck & Cover
Players compete to end a three-round game with the least water around their bathtub by moving and covering rubber ducks on a personal grid. On each turn, players maneuver duck tokens to duck them into safer positions or play duck cards to cover and protect other ducks, aiming to minimize splashes and exposed spaces. The game plays in quick, light rounds with simple spatial decisions about placement and card use, and scoring counts water or splashes left after each round. Players repeat the cycle for three rounds and total their scores to determine the lowest water overall.
