About the game
Get ready for more chaos and cuteness with 'Capivárias: Capiolins', the expansion that brings the iconic Clown Piolin to the world of capybaras! But beware, because these capybaras are a bit different. The Capiolins are a new addition to your river, and they have a peculiar way of scoring: depending on where they end the round, they can give you positive or negative points. And the funniest part? Every time you push a capybara, the Capiolins switch sides of the river! This 'slide and push' mechanic adds an extra layer of strategy and fun, requiring you to think carefully about how to position these elusive little creatures. Inspired by the game 'Malabares', also from the Piquinim collection, this expansion promises twists and hilarious moments. With variable setup, you'll have a different experience each game, ensuring the capybara chaos never gets monotonous. It's perfect for those who already love the base game and want to add a touch of unpredictability and a new strategic challenge, all with the unmistakable charm of capybaras and the joy of the circus. If you enjoy quick games with direct interaction and a touch of humor, this expansion is for you!
