About this board game

Ducks in Tow is a 2020 board game for 1–4 players, with a playing time of approximately 60 minutes. Set in a welcoming duck sanctuary, it invites players to walk around the park, feed the ducks, and guide them to their favorite locations.

Each duck has a favorite food, and feeding one makes it start following you. Your goal is to lead the ducks in tow to the location they love most. When you successfully bring them there, you take a photo with them before they waddle off to find their friends.

The ducks may not be gone forever. As you continue your walk around the park, you might see them again, creating a continuing connection between your visits to different locations and the ducks you encounter.

  • Feed the ducks their favorite food to attract them.
  • Lead them through the park to their preferred locations.
  • Take photos when you successfully complete a duck’s journey.
  • Complete Location Cards to earn points at the end of the game.
  • Claim Formation Cards for additional end-game points after completing a few Location Cards.

Location Cards are central to your progress and provide the points you will score when the game ends. Once you have completed several of them, you may be able to claim a Formation Card, giving you another way to build your final score.

With its gentle sanctuary setting and clear focus on feeding, guiding, and photographing ducks, Ducks in Tow offers a distinctive park-walking experience for solo play or groups of up to four.
