Game description
Imagine waking up in the scorching desert – and finding a hungry lion sitting in front of you. What now? Flight, attack, or cunning? In TOKAN, the exciting tile-laying game from Steffen Spiele, it's eat or be eaten! But don't worry – you're not alone.
TOKAN is a tactical tag game where each player controls their own team of lions, jackals, and mice. The elegant wooden game pieces are placed face down and randomly distributed, so you never know exactly which animal your opponent is facing. And that's precisely where the excitement lies: Will your jackal prevail against the lion? Or will you manage to turn the tables with a cleverly placed mouse?
In TOKAN, capturing doesn't happen by taking away, but by covering: The top stone on a tower indicates who owns the stack. All animals below are considered "eaten"—a powerful metaphor for the constant struggle for survival in the animal kingdom. The rule that even a mouse can capture a lion ensures surprising twists and turns, making every game exciting.
TOKAN is a board game for strategy fans aged 8 and up. It promotes strategic thinking, reaction speed, and decisiveness. Thanks to the high-quality wooden components, each game has a unique tactile feel. Whether as a children's game or a strategic duel among adults, TOKAN combines simple rules with surprising depth.
Only the cleverest will survive – those who think tactically, act bravely and love risk will be rewarded at TOKAN!
