'Bucca is a sea-spirit in Cornish folklore, a merman, that inhabited mines and coastal communities as a hobgoblin during storms. The Tale of the Sea Bucca (Traditional Cornish Stories and Rhymes, Lodenek Press, 1972) describes the Bucca inhabiting Lamorna Cove with the dark brown skin of a conger eel and a tangle of seaweed for hair and given to swimming in the waves, lying in the sea caverns or sitting among the rocks with the birds.'
Bucca is a maritime board game played between two players. The current form of the game emerged in Cornwall during the 21st century after evolving from Crimps and Adella, a similar but much older game of Portuguese origin. Today, Bucca is one of Penwith's most popular games and is played by people worldwide.
Bucca is an abstract strategy game that invokes the principle of 'As above, so below', an expression of the emerald tablet; an alchemic text dating from late antiquity. It is played on a chest with 20 wakes arranged in a four-by-four grid with two port wakes at either end. Bucca is played like piano duets, players seated side by side. At the start, both players place tides around the board and lay their ships. Throughout the game players use these tides to advance their fleet and simultaniously wreck their opponents ships. Bucca theory has developed since the game's inception and has influenced culture and art as well as connecting with other fields such as mathematics, computer science, and psychology.
Bucca is available in two sizes, they are 3D printed in wood filament and stained by the artist. Each set includes the red rules.
