About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a chaotic dive into the pool! In Crocodile Pool Party, the tranquility of a luxury hotel is interrupted by an invasion of hungry crocodiles. What starts as a relaxing day in the water soon turns into a fight for survival, where swimmers and the crocodiles themselves become prey. With every crocodile that enters the pool, fewer people can enjoy the sun. But don't be fooled, the competition is fierce: crocodiles also prey on each other! The objective is simple, but execution is everything: guide your swimmers and crocodiles to the safety of the pool's edge. Every move counts in this aquatic battle where strategy is key to not becoming a snack. With straightforward rules and quick games, this abstract game is perfect for those who enjoy a tactical challenge with a touch of humor and an unusual theme. It's a classic from the Kosmos two-player series that proves the best party isn't always the one with the most guests... especially if they're crocodiles!
