You've Got Crabs

Players form teams of two and create a secret, nonverbal signal to indicate when a teammate holds four identical crab cards. Each player holds four cards; on a side’s turn teammates simultaneously may swap any card with one from the central pool (the Ocean). When a player assembles four matching crab cards they may not speak aloud but can give their prearranged signal. A teammate who recognizes the signal points and calls the capture to score a point; incorrect calls cost points. Opposing teams may also accuse suspected signaling to steal points or tokens. Play continues until the Crab Pot is empty and teams count tokens to determine the winner.
