Duck & Cover

Shuffle and stack your ducks to hide the water before the round scores.

A goofy, quick game where you try to end up with the least water around your bathtub. Over three rounds you either shuffle your ducks around a grid or cover duck cards with other ducks to hide the wet spots. Lowest score wins, and your ducks will love it.

Who it's for

Bigger, mixed groups wanting a cheerful, quick game with a light spatial puzzle and lots of laughs. Shines at four to six.

Not for you if…

You want depth or meaningful strategy. This is featherweight and playful, and thinky gamers will exhaust it fast.

Vibe's take

Fast, silly, and simultaneous, so nobody waits around. A light layering puzzle with a playful race to hide your worst spots.
