Stick around until the end for this one, there’s a SMALL chance we might have gotten carried away with some impromptu nonsense.

This expansion to Triqueta introduces a new type of animal: the friendly but shy wolves, who prefer to keep to the shadows. They step out from the shadows at the end of the game and are then worth a lot of points when forming a triqueta. However, since one of each other animal is also … Read more
