About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready to meet the Lalnalion, a creature that might sound familiar to some! Inspired by an iconic figure from The Yogscast universe, the Lalnalion Artifact introduces an incredible collection of over 40 hybrid beasts with a 'Yogs' twist for you to discover and add to your Bestiary. This expansion integrates seamlessly with the base game and other expansions, allowing you to mix and match elements to create over 40 unique creature combinations. The game is a race against time and gravity, where players must strategically stack animal pieces on a special base. The big twist is that when you place a new piece, you interact with an app that reacts to your actions, showing whether the structure is stable or if the world is about to collapse. It's a cooperative dexterity experience that tests your coordination and teamwork, all while you try to save the world from impending catastrophe. Language dependence is minimal, with very little text on the cards, making it accessible to many players. It's the kind of game that livens up any party, requiring concentration and a bit of luck to keep everything standing!
