About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a quirky race in Fast Sloths! Here, you're not the speedy athlete, but a super relaxed sloth who needs to find a way to tour a lively resort. While all the other critters are running around, you, the sloth, prefer to stay seated... but you want to see everything and maybe grab some tasty leaves along the way. The solution? Let the other animals carry you! That's right, you are the cargo in this inverted 'pick-up-and-deliver' game.

Each game uses 6 out of the 12 available animal species, and the modular board can be assembled in 4 different ways, ensuring each race is unique. On your turn, you'll choose animal cards to use. Each species has a special way of moving you: ants carry you in a chain, the elephant throws you with its trunk... it's pure fun! The game is a pure race, with no dice rolls, where player interaction dictates the pace. The only 'naughtiness' allowed is when you snatch an animal another player had their eye on. With 256 possible board combinations and starting positions, replayability is guaranteed. If you enjoy racing games with a light theme and clever mechanics, Fast Sloths will win you over. It's an ambitious race, but with the laziness we love!
