Captain Macaque CAPD0004 - Duck & Cover

Duck and Cover

Oh no: Your rubber ducks are splashing water all around your bathtub! Find a way to stop them from spraying water everywhere!

In Duck and Cover, a fun and strategic card game, players compete to control the chaos in their bathtub! Each player takes control of a group of rubber ducks and tries to leave the fewest water splashes by cleverly moving and covering cards.

At the start of the game, each player selects one of seven unique duck families, each consisting of twelve cards. These are laid out in a 4x3 grid in front of the player. The game captain draws a card from the draw pile and announces the drawn number. All players must now move the corresponding card from their layout – either by covering another card or by placing the card in an empty spot in the grid.

With special cards like the "Max Card," which forces players to use their highest card, or the "Repeat Card," which allows the last move to be repeated, the game becomes even more varied and challenging.

The goal of Duck and Cover is to have the lowest total score at the end of three rounds. Points are collected based on the number of visible water splashes on the cards – the fewer splashes visible at the end of a round, the better. The player with the fewest points wins and is crowned the Duck Champion of the bathtub!
