About the game
What you do in a play session
If you love vibrant pop art and want something that blends fun with a touch of creative chaos, Cartoona is your game! Featuring the incredible artwork of Robert Burke, this isn't just another building game; it's a colorful explosion where the goal is to create the weirdest and most hilarious creatures you've ever seen. The concept is simple yet addictive: you need to be the first player (or part of a team, since it supports up to 8 people!) to reach 50 points by building these wacky monsters. To achieve this, you'll fit together tiles representing different creature parts—like you're assembling a puzzle of bizarre beings—and use action cards to boost your score or, of course, to throw a wrench in your friends' plans. It's the kind of game that flows quickly, making it perfect for a relaxed night with family or friends who don't mind laughing at a monster with three eyes and a sausage arm. The dynamic of tile placement and action card management keeps everyone on their toes, as no one knows who will complete their first giant creature first. Additionally, the versatility of playing solo, in pairs, or in large groups makes Cartoona an excellent choice for various player profiles. If you're looking for something light, visually stimulating, and with rules that can be learned in a flash, get your tiles ready and start building your creature collection!
