Schotten Totten is a quirky clever tug-of-war game for 2 players. Send your warriors and fight for control of the frontier that separates you from your opponent. You can put down a maximum of 3 cards in front of each stone and whoever has the highest-ranking combination of cards wins the stone.
 
And that is where it gets tricky. The 9 possible combinations are poker style so bluff and finesse are mandatory to deceive your opponent and manage your hand with skill.
 
Each round is set in the same way. Place one of your cards in front of a stone- but choose wisely as it cannot be moved afterwards. Once you are happy with where your card is, draw a new card.
 
When both players have placed three cards in front of the same stone, they compare the combinations formed by the cards on either side. The strongest combination wins the stone tile. The first player to control three adjacent or five scattered stones wins the game.
 
You want more of a challenge? Play with the “tactics” cards allowing you to perform special actions such as discarding opponent's cards or changing a card value.
 
In SCHOTTEN TOTTEN, the premise is simple, yet the game is engaging and tactical. Get your kilt ready and click the link below:

We would like to send a huge thanks to Reiner Knizia, the game designer, and IELLO for having the game on the platform. Let's add a big shoutout to efforts of Mallou, for this BGA adaptation that is allowing you to play on mostly any devices.
 
That's your Monday release,
Until next time, keep your tartan bright, and as always... take care and play fair!

The more Knizia games, the better.

One of my all-time favorites!

A classic.
Disappointing to see that there's no tutorial at launch though. You've done great work to ensure that most launch titles have a tutorial, I hope that continues.

Fantastic addition! Thanks to all involved.

I bit off a little more than I could chew with my schedule but wanted to try my hand at a tutorial. Learned a lot about how under prepared I was! Can't wait to give it another shot in the future!

Thank you Glass Jar Games for your tutorial.

Thank you BGA for arranging to run this game on BGA and for all the hard effort to make it happen.
