Elk Fest

Two elk, Jule and Ole, stare at each other across a river, and each longs for the greener grass on the other side. In Elk Fest, a 1999 entry in the Kosmos two-player series (also known as Elchfest), you flick wooden disks onto the table as stepping stones and walk your elk across them. Take care: if the front and back hooves of your elk are not both resting on stones, your turn ends at once, your elk goes back to where it started, and your opponent gets to flick three stones instead of two. The first to reach the opposite bank wins. A fifteen-minute dexterity duel with a silly premise and real tension.
