Overview

Sink N' Sand is a puzzle game where players strategically place sticks to prevent figures from falling into quicksand. The central game unit contains Kinetic Sand, and players take turns adding sticks to create a grid over the sand. The goal is to support the weight of the included characters, including a special monkey character unique to this edition.

Players roll a die to determine their action, which might involve adding a stick, placing a character, or even triggering a special action. Strategic stick placement is key, as poorly placed sticks can lead to figures sinking into the sand, potentially costing you the game. The first player to successfully place all their figures without them falling in wins the game.
