About the game
What you do in a play session
Hey gamers! If you're a fan of Fleet and looking to spice up your fishing trips, Crab Meeples is the perfect catch. This little gem introduces a new way to score and snag those coveted crab meeples. The concept is straightforward: whoever completes the first full boat of each standard license type in the game immediately claims a crab meeple. And guess what? These little critters are yours to keep, adding a guaranteed point boost! Each crab meeple is worth a hefty 4 VP at the end of the game, so keep them in your sights and plan your moves accordingly. In case of a tie for completing a boat first, the player earliest in turn order wins the crab. This expansion adds an extra layer of strategy and an exciting race for crabs, without overcomplicating the core gameplay. It's ideal for those who have already mastered the base game and want a bit more engaging fun. Get ready for more action and more points on your table!
