    If you’ve ever played Killer Queen Black, the snail mechanic reminds me a lot of the golden snitch. It is kind of fun to have something that you might not have most players paying attention to become a pivotal component of gameplay. Kind of like stealing bases in baseball. But as an actual sport it’s kind of dumb, I agree about it just being a kids book, don’t think about it too hard.

      Disagree, the snail is just a core part of the game that is always there and you need to pay attention to it. It’s not a sudden random event like catching an elusive critter

        What are you disagreeing with? The golden snitch, as it is, is a core part of Quiddich in that the game literally requires it to be caught to end. In KQB that is not the case. I was more mentioning that while playing, a whole other mechanic can go on. If you think of Killer Queen Black as a snail-riding game, then there are times where the game can end suddenly from queens dying too much, or berries being collected.
