Otters

Otters is a quick, kid-friendly card game for 2-4 players ages 6 and up. Players take turns sending otters from their hand to the lake playgrounds on the board, playing 2 cards per turn. If you add enough otters to a playground to fill it up, you win that playground! Whoever has the most valuable collection of playgrounds at the end of the game is the winner.

Most of the game is made up of simple otters numbered 1, 2 or 3. Players must decide which 2 of their cards in hand to play, and which playgrounds to play them to.

There are also special otters in the deck, which players can use to try to win playgrounds quickly, plus alligator cards to keep opponents away from playgrounds.

The playgrounds themselves range in value from 2 to 10, making some easy to win with a card or two, but less valuable to your final score. Others are hard to win but worth lots of points! And if you collect all three playgrounds of the same color, you get bonus points at the end of the game.

Otters is simple enough for kids to play, helping them to learn basic addition. But it's also designed to be interesting for adults, requiring strategic decision making.

Ultimately, Otters is a game about playing with adorable otters with your friends and family.
