Who it's for

Groups who enjoy lighthearted tactical combat with a strong sense of humor and don't mind chaotic outcomes.

Not for you if…

You want tightly controllable, low-randomness strategy β€” dice and simultaneous reveals inject real unpredictability.

🦊

Vibe's take

Loud and chaotic in the best way β€” the simultaneous reveal creates constant surprise, and watching plans collide (or backfire) is half the fun.

About this game

Snails puts you in command of a squad of armed, decidedly unhurried mollusks fighting for dominance over the Gastropodia Islands. Secretly plan five action cards and pick two snails to carry them out each round, then watch your bazookas, mines, and Molotov cocktails play out as the islands themselves crumble beneath the chaos.
