Immerse yourself in the funny and mischievous world of La Marche du Crabe, a cooperative deduction game where two players take on the roles of square crabs determined to free their fellows trapped on a beach littered with obstacles. Inspired by a cult comic book and short film, this game offers an immersive, tactical, and original experience where non-verbal communication becomes your main tool.
Accessible from 8 years old and ideal for quick and strategic two-player games, it combines reflection, coordination, and evolving mechanisms that make every game fresh.
How to play The Crab's Walk?
Game Setup
Form the beach by arranging a square of cards representing the sand and the ocean. Each player embodies a crab: Sun, which can only move horizontally, and Boat, which only moves vertically. Place the crab token on the grid and prepare the different card decks: objects, captive crabs, enemies, and scenarios if you are playing in adventure mode
Gameplay outline
À tour de rôle, chaque joueur révèle une cartevilainqu’il place sur une ligne de la plage correspondant à son décor. Ensuite, il peut décider de déplacer le jeton crabes selon sa direction autorisée. En explorant les cartesobjets, vous découvrez ce qui se cache dessous : un ami crabe à libérer, un ennemi à éviter ou un objet interdit. Vous devez progresser sans communiquer oralement, car vous êtes… des crabes !
Win/Loss Condition
To win, both players must free all 8 trapped crabs before running out of shrimp– symbols of life – or before enemies hinder their progress too much. Certain forbidden items or several consecutive villains cause shrimp to be lost: if your reserve drops to zero before freeing your friends, the game is lost.
Our Tips for Winning
-
Coordinate your movements silently
Your success relies on subtle coordination: your movements must transmit information to your teammate without uttering a word, by making the most of movement constraints.
-
Anticipate enemy cards
Certain "villain" cards place dangerous enemies that can cost you shrimp. Take into account possible patterns before moving your crab to avoid unnecessary losses.
-
Master forbidden items
Each player knows certainforbidden items: keep this information secret but use it subtly to guide the team away from danger.
