About the game
What you do in a play session
Each card is a little gem: the front shows three different critters in a column, and the back features a friendly capybara. You have two choices: place the critters onto one of your capybaras or add another capybara to your roster. The trick is that when you get three or more matching critters in a line (horizontal or diagonal), you can score them. Their value fluctuates, so you need to decide: score now for a high value or wait to build bigger, more elaborate lines later? This hand and resource management is key!
The game gets even more interesting with variable powers that change things up each session, allowing you to manipulate your personal tableau and the central board. The starting setups also vary, forcing you to adapt your strategies. And for solo players, the solo mode offers a challenge against two bots, where you need to beat their scores. It's a fast-paced game, with rounds lasting 20 to 45 minutes, perfect for those who enjoy abstract strategy with a touch of luck and a lot of cuteness. Keep an eye out, as the first player to reach 25 points triggers the end of the game, and there are even end-game bonuses for collecting specific critters. A great pick for anyone looking for something light but with cool tactical decisions!
