Crash Octopus*
Players find themselves in a nightmarish sea adventure, trying to recover their precious cargo and captain while avoiding an angry giant octopus. They race to collect five types of cargo - chalice, chest, gem, gold, and captain - to win the game. Players take turns using their flags to navigate or snap cargo, while a black pearl on the cargo tracker signals an attack from the octopus, adding an extra layer of challenge as they must dodge its tentacles.
