As the waters warm, the Flat and Round Crabs of Purple Palm Island prepare to make their way inland to their customary stomping grounds. As is the tradition, the crabs will fight for space on the island and the species that claims more territory wins bragging rights! (And more coconuts) Crabbage is a two-player area majority game that utilizes cribbage as its engine of play. Each player will represent one of the two crab species: Round or Flat. Over six deals of Cribbage, players will move, deploy, push, and dominate the limited space on the island. Those familiar with cribbage will be delighted to know the card play of Crabbage is identical to the timeless classic. Each deal consists of Play, Hand, and Crib scoring. Crabbage is different in that points earned are used to control areas on the map, leading to interesting choices with each hand and in every situation. —description from the designer
