Wormlord
One of the designers roped me into a game of this at Spiel '19 and I was in hysterics for the ten minutes it took to play. I picked up my own copy and it's been in play at Swiggers games club and conventions since then.
The worms of the title are fat shoelaces in player's colours. The game is played in real time: knot a worm and drop it on the board to claim a square. Un-knot and give back an opponent's worm if there's one there. First to simultaneously occupy three of the four objectives near the centre of the board wins! There's a bit more to it than that, to stop it becoming a complete free-for-all.
The result is several minutes of frenzied activity. At first you think no-one's going to win. Then somebody does! It's just great fun.
For 2-8 players, aged 6+, playing time 10 minutes: £23.00 Special offer: £18.00 (£15.00 without tax outside the UK) (or make me an offer...).
