Abducktion: How to Play

Congratulations, Intern! This handy training video will have you collecting ducks in the most scientifically-relevant formations in no time. Perhaps you'll even earn a pizza party at period close.

Got my game last week! My family absolutely loves it! It’s so fun!

[@Denyel007]

Awesome! My Abducktion game just showed up yesterday! Excited to try it out!

[@evanjoshsveryspecialgames]

Excellent! Let us know what you think.

Is there an option to dump your 3 card hand and end your turn?

[@jmtoronto5]

I just found your channel trying to learn how to play this game. I have a question... can you please tell me about the shelves that hold are of your games? Those are amazing!

[@midnight121190]

I must be reading the set up wrong because this game took us over an hour.
Does each player get 12 formation cards and the first to finish all 12 end the game?!
Or is it 12 total split between all player and when the first person finishes all their formation cards (aka if you’re playing with 4 players, the first to play all 3 ends the game)?

[@BeatlesRoxx13579]

How does parallel universe interact with the research pods? If my pod is at the very top, does it count as my top row, meaning that my options are now limited?

[@rhinmass]

All of the cards show left facing ducks. Does this mean that right-facing ducks are never used for the purpose of matching a formation? Also when swapping with another player or vertically on your own board, do you have to keep the duck oriented with how it was originally?

[@DavidKlausa]

Some formations are only possible using both rows, so the orientation must not matter.

it's a nice game, the text is a little bit small, maybe there could be some extra icons how to swap the ducks. the graphics are great. we like it.
we were wondering why you first put back the ducks. in most games you wait and first take new items we think, and afterwards put back the old items. sometimes this is more logical. but we understand it is a new rule in this game. just the logic of ginving a chance to the old ducks or not, because chance could be to draw the same old ducks :) it's not a bad thing, i mean...

[@christensjeroen]

we are a little bit confused... it says that you have to put new ducks at the end of your turn, but sometimes it needs to be refilled after an action... Do you mean the empty places need to be refilled after each action card or sometimes only at the end of the turn?

Having a fight with my parents. Is shape shifter rearrange any 3 ducks on a row or any 3 consecutive ducks on a row?

[@BeatlesRoxx13579]

I believe the ducks have to be touching. "Straight line" seems to imply this.

[@ea_gaming]

Is the expansion video still coming?

[@123FTSKlover]

Ooh yes, I'm very confused with the expansion pack. So a how to would be great!

[@lillielavender652]

How do you know who goes first?

[@justinwilliams8539]

Whoever has seen a real duck the most recent

@@justinwilliams8539wait fr? I couldn’t find it in the rules

[@hockeyislife7686]

I’d get it if it wasn’t so freaking much 120$

[@donnaroo8042]

What country are you in? I see it on veryspecialgames for $35 for the base game and $50 for base + expansion.

[@allweathergrease_8640]

I just picked it up with the expansion for like 56 dollars
