In Squid Inc., players compete for influence in the high-stakes underwater business world, where power shifts with the tides. Recruit underwater creatures to your side, and lead them up the (metaphorical) food chain, earning more influence the higher they go.

You’ll recruit distinguished business creatures from angler fish to hammerhead sharks, each with a different influence value, and a unique ability. Then, you’ll place them at the bottom of the corporate ladder, trying to outmaneuver your opponents’ creatures and earn them promotions. If there’s no room at the next level, you’ll just have to knock somebody back down! To come out on top, you’ll have to use your creatures’ strengths, and prey on their creatures’ weaknesses.

Joseph P. ★★★★★

The influence tug-of-war between players is genuinely tense, and recruiting sea creatures to shift the tide of power kept our whole table hooked. Games run about an hour, which felt right, though we immediately wanted a rematch. The underwater business theme is silly in the best way.

Nicholas L. ★★★★★

I picked this up expecting a light card game and got genuinely cutthroat strategy instead. Recruiting creatures to build your influence is simple to teach, but the power swings when someone flips the tide on your whole operation are brutal in the best way.

Scarlett A. ★★★★★

The tide-turning tension when the last recruitment happens is unreal—even after three plays, the power swings still catch me off guard. The way each creature's ability reshapes the whole board keeps every round feeling fresh. Solid addition to any game night.
