As in every duel, players in Kakerlaken Duell sit opposite one another. Between them is a game board on which stand exactly four cockroaches in four rows. On a turn, one player sets up the stones in front of themselves, one per row with the symbol facing themselves; the other player then reveals one or more of these stones. Can you trick your opponent in making the wrong choices? Can you read their mind while keeping yours hidden? Whoever first lures one of the cockroaches to their side of the board wins!
