Meet Abducktion
Abducktion is a game for grownups (and smart kids) that takes only 15-25 minutes to play but is still strategic enough to make winning feel really, really good.
Ducks need to be abducted in specific formations, and you'll take turns using spatial logic and cunning to rearrange your ducks before your opponents to win!
Remarkable Quality
Abducktion comes with highest quality components, from 80 intricately painted ducks to the flexible silicone UFO that shakes 'em up before each turn.
"My favorite is that silly spaceship. I get so excited when I get to hold it and I am mad if it is my turn and someone has not passed it to me yet."
—Spencer B.
15-Minute Games
Delightfully quick games for couples to play over the breakfast table, or with a group at the beginning of game night.
"My boyfriend and I... loved the strategy and enjoy a game that plays well at two players. The spatial reasoning is super fun aspect, and I can't wait to play more!"
—Katie G.

FAQ
-
Is the game appropriate for everyone?
The content is, but the activity might not be — Abducktion can be challenging! There’s probably not an upper limit on age (we designed it to be fun for adults even if tiny ears and eyes are around) but anyone under 10-12 might struggle with the logic puzzle aspect of the game.
-
What skills make you good at Abducktion?
We think anyone can be good at Abducktion, but you’ll be a pro if you’re good at spatial reasoning and moving shapes around in your head. Tetris and Candy Crush players, you’ve got a head start!
-
How many players is the game designed for?
The base game is for 1-4 players (yep, it comes with solo play rules so you can play as a logic puzzle on your own!) and you can play with up to 6 players with the expansion pack.
-
What is the ship made out of?
It’s a flexible, durable material in the plastics family that’s perfect for making a ship that would hold its shape, dispense ducks easily, and be super fun to touch.
-
What are the ducks made out of?
They’re non-toxic acrylic. Still, don’t put them in your mouth.
-
How many ducks are there?
80! We wanted there to be enough ducks to ensure statistically random probability of drawing any color duck. The Expansion adds an extra 40 standard ducks, and 10 Glitter Ducks.
-
How does the ship work?
Flaps on the top of the ship are flexible and allow players to easily reach in to remove single ducks, or put a handful of ducks back in the cargo hold. There’s enough empty space on the inside that you can shake up the ducks real good to make sure you’re pulling them out randomly (also function as an excellent maraca.)
-
How did you choose the Formation and Action Cards?
Short answer: exhaustive playtesting.
Longer answer: we imagined all the different formations that could be realistically created by 10 ducks spread evenly across two rows and played each of them to see if they were doable, fun, and appropriately challenging. The process for the Action Cards was similar, but it was more about what players wanted to be able to do to move ducks around their board and then making sure the Action Cards weren’t too powerful. In general, if it wasn’t fun or fair, we scrapped it.
-
How do I get more ducks after capturing a formation card?
Grab them out of the spaceship, of course! Once you’ve captured a Formation Cards, the ducks remaining on your board all move downstream immediately, leaving no empty spaces between them. Then, players will take ducks from the ship, one at a time, and refill the empty ponds.
-
How long is each turn?
Playtesters were finishing their turns in 30 to 90 seconds. Plus, we’ve designed the game so the majority of the “duck refilling” activity happens after you’ve already passed your turn to the next player, which really keeps things moving.
-
When does the game end?
At the beginning of each game, you’ll randomly count out a stack of 12 formation cards that you’ll all compete for (the game comes with double that, so you won’t see every formation every game). Once all the Formation Cards have been captured, the game ends, and whoever has the most points wins!
