Read full descriptionHide full description
Roll. Place. Outsmart. SquidRow is a quick underwater strategy game where every roll can change your plans. Roll the die and decide your next move. Place your squid on light or dark spaces, drop a wildcard, switch places with an opponent, or unleash a bomb that can transform the board in an instant. Your goal is simple: be the first to get four in a row. Getting there is another matter. Play against one, two, or three AI opponents and choose the difficulty that suits you. The rules are easy to pick up, but the changing board means no two games play quite the same way. Features • Play against 1–3 AI opponents • Three AI difficulty levels • Six different die outcomes • Wildcards, bombs and switch moves • Fast, tactical games • Animated underwater game board • Sound effects, music and haptic feedback • No account required Sometimes the perfect move is one roll away. Sometimes a bomb changes everything. Can you claim four in a row?
