Culls
Description
Trap, flip, and outwit your opponent in this timeless game of strategic chip placement. Smarter than Checkers and more fun than Chess, CULLS is the portable abstract strategy game that feels familiar but is unexpectedly clever in its simplicity.
To win The Game of CULLS — which has also appeared in print as Bollox, Bolix, and Bōku — you need to get five of your pieces in a row.
To set up, one player places two chips lobster-side down on empty spaces on the game board, then the other player does the same, after which players take turns placing one chip lobster-side down.
If by placing a chip, you sandwich exactly two of the opponent's chips, turn one of those chips lobster-side up. On that player's turn, they must cull their lobster, picking up the piece and placing it elsewhere lobster-side down as their entire turn. Continue until someone wins.
