Kraken Knuckles is designed for waiting at restaurants, rainy-day fun, or anytime you want a 5-minute showdown with a tentacled twist. Perfect for 2 players, ages 5 and up.
One player is Hero. The other is Kraken. Hero wins if Kraken loses three life or by surviving all 7 rounds to escape. Kraken wins if Hero loses two life. Use a small token or coin to represent Hero.
Each Round you place Hero on the current round’s numbered space. Both players hide 1–4 fingers behind their backs.
Say: “1... 2... 3... Krak!” Reveal fingers at the same time:
Match: Kraken loses 1 life, poke Kraken player.
Total=5: Hero loses 1 life, play Hero player's hand.
Neither: no effect.
Slam, shout, and Krak knuckles responsibly!
