Outthink. Outflank. Claim the most Glory.

Lead your city to victory in SURROUND!, an illustrated strategy card game for 2–4 players aged 10+. Inspired by the atmosphere of the ancient world, it combines clever positioning, tactical decisions and simple addition in a contest of rival cities.

Choose Owl, Dolphin, Lion or Olive and build your presence across a shared grid. Each round, everyone secretly chooses a card before revealing together. Lower numbers act first, while higher numbers bring greater strength. Finding the right balance can turn a promising position into a winning move.

Place your cards carefully to surround opponents, combine your strengths and capture rival cards as trophies. Replace your own cards to create fresh opportunities, protect valuable positions and watch what the other cities are planning.

The terrain adds another layer of strategy. Harbour neighbours earn extra Glory, the Sanctuary strengthens nearby defenders, and the Mountain Pass blocks your route. One shared objective shapes each game, giving players another reason to compete for particular positions or preserve different ranks.

At the end, captured trophies, surviving City cards, Harbour bonuses and the objective decide the winner.

Made for thoughtful family competition

• Shared reveals: discover everyone’s chosen card together, then adapt as the round unfolds.
• Tactical choices: decide when to expand, strengthen a position or set up a capture.
• Simple number play: add attacking strengths and compare them with a rival’s defence.
• Four different objectives: explore different approaches across games.
• No player elimination: losing your cards from the grid does not knock you out.
• Rich illustrations: discover runners, scouts, guards and captains against an ancient Mediterranean backdrop.
