Description

Get ready to join the battle nest in Operation Cuckoo, a strategic board game designed by Dennis Harmsen and Esmée Spaargaren. Published in 2022, this game is perfect for two players looking for a fun and challenging experience that can be learned quickly. With simple rules that can be explained fast, you'll be diving into the action in no time. The game takes place on a hexagon grid, where you'll use grid movement and pattern movement to outmaneuver your opponent and catch the leader. As you take alternating turns, you'll need to think strategically about how to move your game pieces to capture your opponent's eggs or lure their cuckoo into a trap. With three different game pieces, each with its own rules for movement, you'll need to stay focused and adapt to the changing situation on the board. The goal is to be the last one standing, either by capturing all of your opponent's eggs, taking over their nest, or protecting your own homebase. With a playtime of just 15 to 30 minutes, Operation Cuckoo is the perfect game for a quick but intense battle of wits. Will you emerge victorious and claim the nest as your own, or will your opponent outsmart you and send you flying? There's only one way to find out.
