Hertl

Sharks are coming. In the game Hertl, players take control of eight sharks’ teeth and must fight off eight human players. It is a bit complicated to explain in text but it is incredibly simple in practice.

To begin with, each player has their own Shark Teeth card. Whenever you play a card from your hand, you must place that card on one of your teeth. The player who played the card now controls that tooth until they either capture someone or they run out of cards that they can place on their teeth before their opponents take them all away again.

The first round of Hertl starts with three d6 rolls for each player and then follows a standard pattern every time thereafter until the final round when all other players have been captured and only one remains standing as the victor. And yes, you have read that right - there is no final round in this game! Let’s get started!
