Wriggle Roulette

Players take turns reaching blind into a bag to pull out eel- and snake-shaped wooden pieces, aiming to collect as many eels as possible while snakes increase risk. If the total number of snakes removed from the bag exceeds a set limit, a “snake outbreak” triggers and the player who has taken the most pieces loses all of their collected eels. Players must decide each turn whether to keep pulling or stop, balancing the reward of more eels against the growing danger and the actions of opponents. The game centers on push-your-luck decisions, hand‑reading opponents, and timing when to quit to protect earned points.
