Description
Deep in the ocean lives a strange and mysterious creature. The only thing we know about it is its amazingly colorful tentacles! Scientists have made several expeditions, but they’ve never managed to photograph this creature, which they’ve named Tentacolor. They’re relying on you, intrepid explorer!
Dive to the ocean’s depths, find Tentacolor, and take photos of its beautiful tentacles. You’ll need to be smarter than the other explorers, since only one of you can photograph Tentacolor in its entirety!
Tentacolor is a drafting game for our younger players. On each turn, chose one of your cards, make the color match with the tentacle you are building and try to block your opponents.
The first player that matches 5 Tentacle cards wins.
