Animals on Board*
Animals on Board is an accessible and clever game featuring a two-tier cardboard tray that holds each player's animal tiles. Players draw three animal tiles at the start, choose one to place face down on their ark, and form a collective of remaining tiles in the center.
During their turn, players can either split the collective into two groups and take a food crate, or take one collective into their ark by paying food crates for each animal. The game concludes when an ark has at least ten animals on board, after which players score points based on their pairs and remaining crates.
Nominated for 2 awards.
