Snakes of Wrath

About the game

What is Snakes of Wrath?

In the world of Snakes of Wrath, two players or teams battle to build, and steal, the largest snakes. Traps are laid, enemies are flayed, and snakes are combined and captured as the tangled, hedonistic ouroboros grows. Will you build methodically or go on the offense by attacked your enemies and attempting a chain reaction steal. Each player has 7 randomly selected tiles with which they can: -Build a new snake from any open head -Grow an existing snake in their color -Injure an opponent's snake with an injury tile -Steal an opponent's snake by connecting to it Lay your tiles strategically, incapacitate your opponent, and close all ends of your snakes to emerge victorious. Players must plan ahead, guess their opponent's moves, and deploy tiles carefully. Two-sided tiles mean the tides can change at any moment with a sinister steal or a well-laid trap. One mistake and a chain reaction can be set off, flipping tiles in your opponents favor.
