Das Wildschweinspiel
2 players · 20 min
Rare Perlhuhn tube game whose title simply means "game with boars".
In this fast tactical and bluffing game with asymmetric setup one player plays the hunters while the other acts as boar trying to out-maneuver his opponent.
The boar wins when it reaches a (secret) target spot on the board while the hunters win when they capture the boar trying to escape.
The playing pieces are massive metal cubes and tubes - the included wooden boars should only "be used as a giveaway" (quoting the instructions...!)
