Get ready for a hilarious and tense adventure with Piranha Pedro, a game where the goal is not to be the unlucky one! Our poor Pedro is in trouble, stuck on a sandbank in the middle of the Amazon, and the river is infested with hungry piranhas. The players' mission is simple: help Pedro cross the river by placing stones in his path. But don't be fooled, simplicity hides a dash of bluffing and a lot of fun! Each player has a supply of stones to use, and each round, everyone secretly chooses how many stones they will play to create Pedro's path. The problem is, no one wants to be responsible for letting Pedro fall into the water! Whoever runs out of stones or is forced not to play risks seeing our hero become piranha food. And when that happens, it's a guaranteed 'Splash!' and lots of laughter from the other players. Piranha Pedro is a light, fast-paced game perfect for those looking for direct interactions and moments of pure silliness. The comic-book style art makes everything even more fun and helps you dive into the comical Amazonian atmosphere. It's the perfect choice for a relaxed game night, where the focus is on group fun and the thrill of seeing who will be the next to 'feed' the piranhas. Who will have the last laugh? ## FAQ ### How many players does Piranha Pedro support and what's the average game duration?
