About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for an adrenaline-pumping aquatic adventure in Wriggle Roulette! In this fast-paced and fun game, you and your friends will dive into a mysterious bag, competing to see who can fish out the most wooden eels. But beware, as treacherous snakes hide among the eels! With each turn, the tension builds: do you pull out another fish, risking snagging a snake, or are you content with what you've already got? The real danger arises when the total number of snakes pulled out by all players exceeds a perilous limit. If this happens, a 'snake outbreak' is declared, and the unfortunate player who grabbed the most pieces (including the snakes!) loses their entire catch. It's a game of subtle bluffing, reading your opponents, and, of course, a lot of luck. Will you be the most greedy and lucky angler, or will you be swallowed by your own ambition? With games lasting no more than 20 minutes and super simple rules, Wriggle Roulette is perfect for livening up any gathering, whether with family or friends. Fun is guaranteed for up to 8 players, turning the simple task of fishing into an exciting 'push your luck' challenge. Do you have what it takes to leave the sea with the biggest catch of eels, without falling into the snakes' trap?
