Abducktion - A weirdly Strategic Duck Kidnapping Game, 15-Minutes of Light Strategy of Ducks, a UFO, and Mind-Bending, Shape-Finding Logic!

This game is such a pleasant surprise. At first glance, it looks like total chaos—ducks, UFOs, weird shapes—but there’s a solid layer of strategy under the silliness. It plays fast (about 15 minutes per round), but still makes you think, especially if you’re into spatial reasoning and pattern-matching.The theme is delightfully bizarre in the best way, and the components are colorful and well-made. It’s accessible enough for casual players but still gives your brain something to chew on. Great for game nights when you want something light but not mindless.Also, it’s surprisingly competitive for such a goofy premise—perfect for families or friends who love a little light-hearted sabotage. Total win in my book.

Fun strategy game, my 11 year old picked up on it super quickly. Instructions were easy to understand and implement. Everyone in the family enjoys it.

This game is so fun! It’s great for family game night!

Love this game! Only played the original version but also purchased the expansion and look forward to using that for added skill

This is a fun game and very aesthetically pleasing. The art work is beautiful and the ducks are fun. The game isn't super easy to play, as like many games, there are a lot of directions to read before understanding how to play. My kids and I love it, but we are a thinking bunch who like a challenge and don't mind a complex game. Santa brought this game for Christmas, and we have played it quite a number of times with a bunch of different family members and friends. Not everyone loves it. It is very complex, there is a bit of set up, and there is a lot of reading especially on understanding what you can do with each action card.The object of the game is to create specified patterns with colored ducks to get points. The person with the most points at the end of the game wins. The game ends when the number of pattern cards you choose to use are completed. A simple concept, and a valid game. The difficulty comes in with moving the ducks into the desired pattern. You pick ducks out of the spaceship (which is super fun and cute!!) to use. Trying to achieve the patterns can be frustrating. My sister hates this game as she didn't like having to think for fun and gets frustrated. My sons love it as does my niece. The downsides of this game are that it is not really interactive and it can be slow as each person has to take what can be a lot of time on their turn to try to get their ducks into the pattern with the most points. Sometimes there is also confusion on how the ducks can be moved using the drawn action card. The game can take a long time and can be slow moving.Despite this, we love this game and continue to play it. It is a great game for people who like patterns, spatial manipulation, and involved, thoughtful games! Plus it is a beautifully put together game with nice artwork and hilarious wording. And also, who doesn't love cute mini ducks!!

Super fun game to play with friends

This is probably one of the most fun games I have played in a long time. Super fun to play with just 1 other person or a group of people. Get the expansion to add 2 more players and spice up the game!! You will pick it up easily, definitely worth a shot!

We love this game it’s so cute
