## Description
Get ready for a rather peculiar animal collection in Triqueta! This fast-paced and strategic game for 2 to 5 friends puts you in a race to form 'triquetas' – three tokens of the same animal. Over four rounds, you'll draft animal tokens that appear in various rows. The trick is knowing the right time to grab what you want before someone else snatches it or, worse, leaves you with a pile of useless tokens. Each triqueta is worth points, but beware! Exceeding three tokens of the same type can cost you dearly at the end. It's a light game with a touch of 'push your luck' when choosing rows, and it strongly resembles the dynamics of set collection. The art is charming, and the components are nice, making the experience visually pleasing. Triqueta is perfect for those looking for something to kick off a game night, with quick rounds and good player interaction. It's a great choice for families and groups who enjoy abstract games with a light theme and accessible mechanics. If you like planning and a dash of luck, you'll have fun trying to complete your triquetas and score as much as possible without falling into the trap of collecting too many. Remember, the 'Hidden Wolves' expansion is already included in the latest versions, adding an extra spice to the gameplay!
