Description

Ebbe & Flut is a game of strategic tidal forces, where one to two players take on the role of the ebb and flow, each trying to outmaneuver the other. Designed by Wolfgang Werner and first published in 2000, this abstract strategy game is easy to learn, making it accessible to new players. The gameplay revolves around building cascades of moving cards across a square grid, with the goal of getting your cards to reach the final destination in the opposite corner. As you place tiles and move your cards, you'll need to remember patterns and build on them to gain an advantage. With a playtime of just 30 to 45 minutes, Ebbe & Flut is a great option for a quick but engaging gaming session. The combination of grid movement, layering, and pattern building creates a challenging and dynamic experience, where players must balance short-term tactics with long-term strategy. As the tides shift and the cards move, you'll need to adapt and think ahead to emerge victorious. Whether you're playing solo or competing against an opponent, Ebbe & Flut offers a fun and mentally stimulating experience that will keep you coming back for more.
