Snails

Players command squads of armed snails in tactical skirmishes across a chain of destructible islands. Each player fields a Hero with a unique ability and several snails that gain weapons and equipment by excavating island layers or looting destroyed terrain. Gameplay uses simultaneous action planning: secretly select five Action Cards and assign two snails to execute them, then resolve actions with dice, cards and special abilities while islands crumble, hazards appear and units can be knocked into the water. Matches support 2–4 players and emphasize short, tactical turns, variable scenarios and emergent chaos from weapon effects and changing terrain.
