Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Welcome to the snowy world of the Arctic Circle, where brave sledders race in a test of skill and endurance. Action is fast and furious and not all sleds may make it to the finish. Huskies only have one setting and that is full speed. Hang on to your furs, the reins, your sled and anything else you can get hold of. In race order, the players move their sleds on the track by playing cards onto their sled mats. On their turn, the player may play 1-3 cards of the same value onto their mat. Their sled piece moves a number of spaces equal to their speed (dogs - brake), but will also drift towards the strongest dog. They may have bonus movement if their sled is balanced (the dogs show the same value). Careless players may damage their sleds, causing them to pick up dent cards. Dent cards limit a players hand size for future turns. To win, players must control the drift of their sled carefully to maneuver around corners.

Our family enjoys games like Catan, Ticket to Ride, Carcassonne, and Small World. Snow Tails is a great addition to our collection. Easy to learn, fun to play, often with the winner not determined until the last move.

This game is one of the best I have ever played. Duration of game: nearly perfect at 30-40 minutes. I can't last much longer than this. Balance of luck and strategy: very balanced game. Less skilled players still "have a chance", but more skilled players will win more often by "running their dogs" well. Variety: excellent variety with ability to choose from among many track layouts. Family Friendly: great game for family members.
