Below the surface of the North Sea dwell the cheekiest and most colourful of creatures. But don’t let their charm deceive you. With fabled precision these legendary seafolk strike with fin and fang, plundering the vessels above. As the winds howl and the waves crash, each season brings even greater challenges. For those who survive, what name will they speak, and of which ocean clans will they sing of for ages to come?
A game of Skute is played over 4 rounds, referred to as “seasons”. Play begins in Spring, and ends in Winter. Each Season players will start out by bidding to gain various creatures to their hand and grotto. After this, they will attempt to play out all cards from their hand before their opponents can in order to sink the best skute. After 4 seasons, the player with the most valuable collection of sunken skutes will be declared the winner.
