About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a frantic adventure in the Colombian Llanos! In Chill Chigüiro, peace was shattered by a brilliant idea: what if we stack everyone? What started with a daring capybara climbing on a crocodile turned into an epic competition of balance and strategy. You'll manage your hand of cards to build towers of diverse animals, from squirrel monkeys to colorful butterflies, all while trying to secure valuable medallions that decide the winner.

The gameplay is straightforward but requires focus: each turn, you have two actions to spend. You can draw animals, start new towers, place an animal on top of an existing stack, or claim medallions. But don't be fooled, the game has that classic 'take that' spice. Monkeys, for instance, love to steal the top animal from an opponent's tower, while crocodiles must stay at the base, serving as a foundation. Meanwhile, tortoises provide calm tokens, which are essential for boosting your plays, paying extra costs, or even sabotaging others when claiming medallions.

The game flows quickly and funnily. The strategy revolves around balancing the height of your towers—which grant extra points if they have four or more animals—with the efficient collection of medallions. The game ends when the animal deck runs out, giving everyone one last chance to shine. In the end, the scoring is the moment of truth: towers, medallions, and stack height decide who is the king of the capybaras. If there's a tie, the number of capybaras in your towers is the ultimate tiebreaker. It's a light game, perfect for that afternoon with friends where chaos and fun go hand in hand, keeping everyone engaged until the very last second.
