Kelp Deluxe Edition

Kelp is an asymmetric game for two players that gives the players a unique opportunity to dive into the natural world of pyjama sharks and octopuses, set in a South African kelp forest. Hide-and-seek meets bluffing and manipulation. Deck-builder meets dice-bag-builder.

As the players take on the roles of these iconic sea creatures, they will find that the game mechanics closely mirror their real-life counterparts. Each has a unique path to victory. The octopus, known for its cunning and adaptability, sneaks around the board by playing cards and managing its hidden and revealed blocks, channelling the creature’s remarkable ability to camouflage and deceive. The shark, on the other hand, embodying the ruthless and single-minded predator, patrols its territory and tries to hunt the elusive octopus by rolling dice and using special abilities to give its luck a helping hand, showing the creature’s natural instincts and predatory behaviour. The game is an exciting blend of deck-building and dice-bag-building, as well as hide-and-seek, bluffing and manipulation.

There are 3 ways the game ends:
The shark wins by attacking the octopus,
The octopus wins by surviving until the shark is exhausted, or
The octopus wins by eating all four seafood.
