The Bucket King
The Bucket King is a board game for 2–6 players. It plays in 45 minutes and is meant for ages 10 and up. Ludoya players call it best with 6. It is rated 3.3 out of 10 by 4 Ludoya reviewers.
Protect a pyramid of coloured buckets from attacks by playing sets of animal cards. Players attack the neighbour to their left with one to three cards of a colour, while the defender must play a higher total in that colour or lose a bucket. Successful defenses pass the attack onward, and matching the attacking total reverses its direction. Removing a lower bucket can bring down the buckets above it, so players arrange weaker colours near the top of their pyramid. Players draw only one replacement card after each play, and the player with the most remaining buckets at the end wins.
