How to Play CULLS | Board Game Tutorial - 2 and 4 Player Rules

Play The Game HQ

Play The Game HQ

Watch “How to Play CULLS | Board Game Tutorial - 2 and 4 Player Rules,” a how-to-play guide for Culls from Play The Game HQ on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Play The Game HQ on YouTube:

Outwit, Outsmart, and Surround your opponent to get 5 in a row before they do. Culls is a simple game with a ton of strategy. Place your chip anywhere on the board. Your goal is to get 5 of your chips in a row and stop them from doing the same, with one very important caveat. If you are able to surround 2 of their chips with 2 of your chips, you "cull" one of their chips. On their next turn, instead of placing a new chip, they have to move the culled chip to any other space on the board. The first player to get 5 in a row wins the Culls round, and the first player to win 3 Rounds wins the game. In this video we'll teach you everything you need to know to play Culls, with either 2 players or 4 players. This Board Game Tutorial for Culls was sponsored by @TheOpGames #Culls #Tutorial #HowtoPlay #Instructional #boardgames #playthegame #PlaytheGameHQ #PlaytheGameChannel #Tabletop #TaletopGames #FamilyGames #Kidsplaining #bestboardgames #bestfamilygames #hottestboardgames From the Publisher To win The Game of CULLS — which has also appeared in print as Bollox, Bolix, and Bōku — you need to get five of your pieces in a row. To set up, one player places two chips lobster-side down on empty spaces on the game board, then the other player does the same, after which players take turns placing one chip lobster-side down. If by placing a chip, you sandwich exactly two of the opponent's chips, turn one of those chips lobster-side up. On that player's turn, they must cull their lobster, picking up the piece and placing it elsewhere lobster-side down as their entire turn. Continue until someone wins. --------------------------------------- Play the Game HQ a youtube channel dedicated to sharing our love of boardgames.
