まるぺけ (Maru & Peke) is a noughts & crosses game from Japan, using special effects on the cards. There is a war on the dark side of the Moon between two tribes of rabbits. Both tribes are using their special abilities to occupy the territory and win, or gain a draw with the fewest cards. Players spend cards to a 3x3 grid trying to get three cards in a row in the standard fashion. But the cards have abilities, such as switch places diagonally, or blocking movement, or laying traps. If the game ends in a draw, the player how spent the fewest cards to draw is the winner. user summary
