About Surfs Up board game:
You and your rivals are surfers trying to gain the most points by catching the best collection of waves by the end of the game, dodging bluebottle stings, scoring bonus points from surfboards that match the waves you catch, and by satisfying each game’s 3 unique goals.
The game end is triggered when either:
1. All 5 bluebottles have been resolved, or
2. Any player only has their zero energy card left.
The player with the most points between waves caught, matching surfboards, bluebottle stings and end game goals wins.
Key Features:
Light weight family game - filler board game
20-30 minute play time
2-6 players (or solo if you want to play like I do)
Neoprene game mat
Why You’ll Love It:
You are a family looking for a light weight game for the kids to enjoy. Everyone around the table is competitive making it great for kids around 8 years old and up. Easy to pick up rules with a bidding mechanic. Great for board game beginners.
