Skute

Description

Below the surface of the North Sea dwell the cheekiest and most colourful of creatures...but don't let their charm deceive you. With fabled precision, these legendary seafolk strike with fin and fang, plundering the vessels above. As the winds howl and the waves crash, each season brings even greater challenges. For those who survive, what name will they speak, and of which ocean clans will they sing of for ages to come? A game of Skute lasts four rounds, referred to as "seasons", starting with Spring and ending in Winter. Each season, players start by bidding to gain various creatures to their hand and grotto. Next, they attempt to play out all cards from their hand before their opponents can in order to sink the best skute. After four seasons, whoever has the most valuable collection of sunken skutes wins. —description from the publisher
