	Description Edit \| History

Who will take a photo of the famous Loch Ness monster? It appears regularly, and whoever has his camera set up in the best position will score the most points – but where Nessie will show up, no one knows for sure. Instead, each player knows only a bit of information, so you need to keep that info to yourself and not give away too much knowledge to the other players.

Not to be confused with another 2010 game with the same theme, Loch Ness!

Loch Nessie 2 Player Aid (basic game)

Although Loch Ness is a fun, light game (great to introduce to non gamers), the rule book isn't always the clearest. This player aid has been developed for people who are playing the basic game with 2 players. It lists the order of actions taken during each round of play.
