The Greatest Snake

The Greatest Snake shrugs off the idea of using numbers and counters to keep track of score. As the game progresses, you’ll see the whole battle physically unfold in front of you! Eaten rats become new body cards, empty body cards can be filled with equipment, and equipment can be covered by rats. So rev up your jetpack, tape on your crab claw, and get ready to become…

Why we are Excited

DID you see this game?! At first I didn’t think there was very much to The Greatest Snake. But, then I took a minute to sit down and really check it out. I like that it appears simple. Each player starts out with a head card, fashionable body card, and a tail card. When it’s your turn, draw a card. Any equipment drawn goes into your hand. Power cards are drawn and placed in your hands but, can be used at any point. Rat cards drawn are placed on your snakes head card. Here is where I become even more intrigued then I already was. In order to end your turn, you’d say “Digest”. Any rat cards placed get moved one space down towards the tail. Rats that reach the tail become fully digested, flipped, and placed just before the tail card to become part of the your snake. The player who reaches a snake length of seven wins! Check it out on Kickstarter!
