Caracoles is a two player game about two snails trying to reach the yummiest food in a Japanese food festival, while avoiding the "Saltmurai". A playing field is set up from various tiles. Each player receives five movement cards and plays one of them in each turn. When moving to certain tiles, the snails can leave a slime trail, which claims points at the end of the game. At the end of each turn, the players move the Saltmurai as well, to block the opponent's movement. When all five cards have been played, a round ends and the players note their points. The player with most points after three rounds is the winner.
