Featuring vibrant custom cards and unique gameplay mechanics, it’s perfect for family game nights or gatherings with friends. Snakes and Hawks Deluxe includes score keeping boards and player tokens. What Makes It Unique? Unlike traditional trick-taking games, partnerships in Snakes and Hawks rotate with every deal. The dealer gets to choose their partner, creating ever-changing dynamics and strategies as alliances shift with each round. While teamwork is key during the hand, only one player can claim ultimate victory by having the lowest score at the game’s end. The Goal? Keep Your Score Low! Avoid penalty cards, capture powerful Hawks to deduct points, and aim to collect all four Snakes for a massive scoring bonus. The game ends when someone reaches 200 points or falls below -100 points. Be the player with the lowest score to win! Why You'll Love It: Designed with vibrant artwork and an easy-to-understand rule set, Snakes and Hawks brings the whole family together for thrilling gameplay. Its compact size makes it perfect for travel, parties, or casual gatherings. Scoring Highlights: Each penalty-colored card adds 1 point. Hawks subtract 3 points. Snakes are 10 points each (15 for the penalty colored Snake) Collecting all 4 Snakes rewards a -50 point bonus. End the game when a player reaches 200 or -100 points. Lowest score wins! —description from the publisher
