Bremen Formation
2–6 players · 15 min · 10+
In Bremen Formation, each of the players takes on the role of an animal, trying to be the one to catch the hen. Players get a hand of action cards (e.g. move forward 1 space) and each animal has a special action.
The game play takes place on cards showing three spaces in a line, which form a loop. Players simultaneously choose a card from their hand and reveal it. Once each action is resolved, an item card takes effect. The players see a queue of the next two item cards which will occur, and they have effects such as placing the hen on the animal on top of a stack, causing the top animal to pick up their used action cards, or eliminating a player from the game.
The first player to catch the hen twice wins.
