## Description
In "The Little Prince: Make Me a Planet," each player’s goal is to build a welcoming planet for the beloved animals from the book: the fox, the sheep, the elephant, and the snake. The game blends territorial expansion with set‑collection strategy, all in a brisk 25‑minute playtime. At the start of each round, the starting player selects one of four stacks of tiles and draws a number of pieces equal to the number of players. They then choose one of those tiles and assign another player to pick a tile, continuing until everyone has one. The last player receives the sole remaining tile, earning the turn to start the next round. This "open drafting" mechanic creates a continuous flow of choices, where deciding who gets each tile can directly shape your planet’s composition. Players must balance the presence of baobab trees, which if three appear on a planet require those tiles to be flipped face‑down and lose points, and volcanoes, whose maximum count imposes penalties. At the end, the Little Prince’s characters appear around each planet, awarding points based on the items present. The player with the highest score wins, but beware: the player with the most volcanoes loses points proportionally. The minimalist design, with 4×4 grid pieces, ensures the game is accessible and visually appealing, while the literary theme offers a nostalgic and educational experience for fans of all ages.
