Beschreibung
Coral Reef is a card game based on Richard Breese's 'Reef Encounter' board game with his permission.

Players use cards for "growing" their own Corals. These Corals, once "eaten" by a Parrotfish, are the primary source of Victory points at the end of the game. But playing out Coral cards is not the only action you can make. Apart from that you can also initiate an "Outgrowth" of one of your Corals onto an opponent's one. This way you can catch him unawares and while reducing his Coral a bit you can grow yours much larger.

A player also has 4 Shrimps which he must use to "occupy" his Corals by to be able to "feed" them to his Parrotfish. Thse Shrimps also protect the Corals in a small way, adding to their strength.

Last but not least, 30 Special cards can be bought and used throughout the game to give special bonuses or impose penalties upon players. All-in-all it is up to you how you handle your Reef...
