Who it's for

Families and party groups wanting a quick, spiteful filler with simple rules and light fantasy flavor.

Not for you if…

About this game

Crossing drops six mythical races into one small town on Summer Solstice night, all scrambling for the same glowing Life Stones. Everyone chooses their move at the same time: grab stones off the mushrooms, snatch them from a rival's stash, or hunker down to protect your own. Since every choice is locked in simultaneously, half the fun is guessing what everyone else is about to do and hoping you guessed right. Fifteen minutes, dead simple to teach, and just spiteful enough that stealing someone's stash never stops being satisfying.
