About the game
Axe-A-Lot-L is a quick, chaotic, easy to learn card game for 2-6 players. Each axolotl starts with 4 limbs and a couple of once-per-game abilities, and then takes turns drawing from the deck looking for Axe cards they can use to chop off each-other's limbs! But axolotls have some of the most incredible regenerative powers in nature, so you can also use special cards to try and regenerate limbs you've lost! The last axolotl with a leg to stand on wins! —description from the publisher
