DUCK & COVER: I'm bath-man!

Post by DrClick »

Try to have the fewest splashes in your bathtub by ducking and covering your ducks!
 
Duck & Cover is a goofy 20 minute game in which you are trying to have the least water around your bathtub. You will either duck your ducks by moving them around your grid or cover your duck cards with other ducks.
 
Each player has a set of duck cards numbered 1-12 laid out randomly in a 3x4 grid in front of them. The large number on the card is the card number, and the small number is the splash number.
There is a draw deck of 26 cards: 2 sets of cards numbered 1-12 + 1 Max card + 1 Repeat card. This is called the Captain deck.
Each turn, you will move a card/stack in your grid that matches the number drawn from Captain deck.
After 3 rounds, the player with the fewest Splashes showing on their grid wins!
 
Yes, it's as crazy as it reads.
Ready to try it? Just click the link below, and you will dive in a game in no-time, from 2 to 7 players, for 10 mins:

We would love to thank the Captain Games team, as well as Oussama Khelifati for their support to bring this game online, and let's also thank tchobello for adapting it to our platform.

A light-hearted game for duck lovers, that's more than welcome before Essen!
That's it for this Monday.
Until Wednesday, as always, take care and play fair!

I'm having to refresh between virtually every move. The grid to move a card won't appear after a new card is turned over. I even changed from laptop (wifi) to mobile (5G) and it made no difference.

Is anyone else finding this?
