Shoot your opponents' ducks out of a shifting card gallery and be the last player with a duck standing.
A fairground shooting gallery, played with cards. Your ducks sit in a central row of cards that keeps shifting as new cards arrive, with a few empty gaps mixed in. Use cards from your hand to place aim tokens on particular ducks, and once a duck has an aim token on it, any player can play a Fire card to take it out. That means your aim can help someone else. Special cards let you shuffle the line around, but the aim tokens stay put, so you can protect your own ducks and threaten the others. Lose all your ducks and you are out; the last player with ducks wins. It is quick, nasty and silly, about twenty minutes with three to six players.
Who it's for
You want a short, mean card game with a carnival theme and enjoy sniping at friends.
Not for you if…
You dislike being eliminated early or hate take-that play, since players drop out as their ducks vanish.
Vibe's take
Cheeky and aggressive in short bursts. Aim and fire are separate steps anyone can use, so every lined-up shot is a small act of diplomacy or betrayal.
