About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for an animal migration and build the most incredible park! In Moving Wild, you'll manage cards to attract very special creatures to your private zoo. Think majestic elephants, bears that just want peace, and hippos who enjoy both land and water. The game uses a 'drafting' system where cards circulate, and you need to decide on the spot: do I take this animal card now or wait for a more suitable location? Each round is a challenge of strategy and timing, where you pick one card and pass the rest along. The goal is to match the right animals with the perfect habitats – savannas, lakes, or jungles – to create maximum harmony and score. It's a fast-paced game with accessible rules, perfect for those who enjoy set collection and planning moves ahead. You can play solo, testing your skills against the game, or with up to six friends, making the competition even more exciting. The card art brings wildlife to the table charmingly, and the 'melding and splaying' mechanic adds an extra layer of tactics. If you enjoy card games with an animal theme and a dash of strategy, Moving Wild will win you over!
