Countryside ponds are little slices of paradise where everything is calm and peaceful.
Or so it seems.
For ponds people, this poetic backdrop represents a daily struggle for survival, where its eat or be eaten.
Aquarena shows us what the food chain near a pond looks like.
Carefully position your predators around the pond, so they can catch their favorite prey.
But beware: they too can fall prey to other predators.
A game takes place over 4 rounds, each of which consists of 3 successive phases: planning, resolution and scoring.
Planning phase: beginning with the starting player and then in clockwise order, players choose 1 card from their hand which they place on the edge of a water tile of their choice, discard 1 other card from their hand and draw 2 new cards.
Players continue taking turns until they have played 4 cards: the first 2 cards are placed face up and the last 2 cards are placed face down.
Resolution phase: the starting player chooses one water tile and reveals the 2-6 players ages 8+ 30 minute play time.
