La Marche du Crabe
We are the last members of a peculiar decapod crustacean species: the square crabs from the Gironde estuary. From an evolutionary standpoint, we're not that useful, notably because... Well, we physically can't turn.
We're bound to walk in a straight line all our life. And not even straight, but… Crab steering! Not exactly an interesting life... Especially for those born between two rocks.
We're not that moronic though, because, after only a few hundred thousand years, we realized that with two crabs who take turns climbing on top of each other, we could move in a grid pattern in all our environment! New horizons beckoned us!
Let's use this discovery to free our buddies, who are trapped under items left on the beach by careless humans, whilst avoiding our sworn enemies: the formidable yet stupid brown crabs and the terrifying and sly lobsters...
La Marche du Crabe (March of the Crab) is a super immersive cooperative deduction game, in which the two playful crabs will be completely dependent on each other... not to mention! You have often seen crabs discuss, will you?

Turn
Flip a Baddie card and place it in the depicted row, your choice where but cannot be placed on other Baddies, Items, or Freed Crabs. If you choose to place it on the Crab token's space, it costs 1 Shrimp
You may move in your Crab's direction (Vertical or Horizontal)
If you pass over 1 or more Baddies, lose 1 Shrimp regardless of number passed over
If you land on an item, first determine if it's one of your teammates Forbidden Items (you have 2 Forbidden Items yourself which you know not to step on, but your teammate doesn't, and vice versa)
If it is a Forbidden Item, lose 2 Shrimp and the teammate places a Baddie on the card without revealing it
If it is not a Forbidden Item, flip it to reveal a Freed Crab
Don't step on your own Forbidden Items, you already know what these are!
