About this board game

Frutti di Mare: Veni, Vidi, Antipasti! is a seafood-themed strategy game for 2–6 players, with a playing time of 90 minutes. Players command armies of Frutti in a deliciously dramatic struggle for control of the plate.

Each army is led by the great and honorable King Crab, supported by a varied cast of seafood forces. Mighty Mussels, Cunning Calamari, Shy Shrimps, Smoking Salmon, and Loyal Lobsters bring a broad palette of characters to every battle.

Players take their turns in clockwise order. Every turn follows three clear phases:

  • Income Phase: Gain coins for the next phase.
  • Recruitment Phase: Spend those coins to buy fresh Frutti and strengthen your army.
  • Action Phase: Move and attack with your Frutti.

The King Crab also has a special leadership role. Once each turn, the King Crab can deliver an inspirational speech, choosing from a variety of effects to influence the course of the game.

Frutti di Mare: Veni, Vidi, Antipasti! offers three different paths to victory. You can reach the center of the plate with your King Crab, remain there with a Royal Frutti for one full round, or eliminate all opposing King Crabs.

With recruitment, movement, attacks, and distinct victory objectives, every game creates a flavorful contest between seafood armies. Whether you advance toward the center, build your forces, or target rival leaders, the road to victory runs through the plate.
