Kelp is an asymmetric two-player game that invites you to dive into the natural world of pajama sharks and common octopuses, amidst a South African kelp forest.
Playing as these iconic aquatic creatures, players will discover that the game mechanics closely mirror those of real life. Each offers a unique path to victory.
The octopus, known for its cunning and adaptability, sneaks around the board by playing cards and controlling blocks to hide, simulating this creature's remarkable ability for camouflage and deception.
The shark, embodying the relentless and determined predator, patrols its territory and attempts to hunt down the elusive octopus by rolling dice and using special abilities to limit its luck, thus highlighting the creature's natural instincts and predatory behavior.
The game is a clever blend of deck-building and bag-building, as well as hide-and-seek, bluffing, and manipulation.
