In Search for a Giant Squid: The Game, you’re a submersible pilot on underwater adventure! On your search to find the giant squid, you will collect sea creatures that match the ones on your pilot mat. You can win by either finding the last giant squid piece before the other players do or by collecting all of the sea creatures on your mat. But be careful, because your submersible might encounter underwater hazards or malfunctions that will send you back to the surface! For 2-4 players; 20-minute game time. Unlimited player count if playing cooperatively.
