If you are good you use the crab toss skill to throw it at a chasing opponent, knocking them down. Then you steal it back and run away!
This.
It’s a good tactic for dealing with opponents if it’s just 1v1 or 1v2. Not as useful when there’s a big rush of opponents though.

Originally I was calling it the Karka Bowl, because I first conceived the game’s core concept to be about dodging rolling karka. In fact, I further thought that points would only be awarded by causing other players to meet their untimely demise by tossing the crab to them at the just right (wrong) moment. In that regard Crab Toss makes a lot of sense. But a few experiments and iterations later, it evolved into the keep-away type game it is today with a few core elements. But Crab Toss is still very appropriate, considering the game begins with the referee tossing the crab into the arena.
Major thanks goes out to Peter Fries and Scott McGough for coming up with the term Crab Toss as well the most excellent title in game: Crabgrabber, which I will wear forever.

I don’t know about most excellent; Yakslapper definitely gives it a run for its money.

You just don’t know how to toss it properly. Knock someone out by throwing it at them then steal it as they get back up.

Oh dear… The Far Shiverpeaks Yakslappers and the Southsun Crabgrabbers sound like pretty good sports teams.
