Description

Australian Menagerie is a fun and fast-paced game that's all about collecting and preserving Australia's amazing wildlife. With simple rules that can be explained in no time, 2 to 3 players can jump into the game and start competing to build their own nature reserve. The goal is to collect as many animal cards as possible for each habitat, and you score points for each one you have at the end of each hand. It's a great way to learn about the diverse range of animals that call Australia home, and the quick 10-minute playtime makes it perfect for a quick game with friends or family. As you play, you'll need to use strategy to outdo your opponents and collect the most valuable animal cards. But that's not all - the game also introduces threats like fire, pollution, and feral animals that can disrupt your opponents' habitats, adding an extra layer of challenge and excitement to the game. You can even protect your own habitats from these threats, making the game a fun and educational experience that's all about balance and strategy. With its unique blend of set collection and melding mechanics, Australian Menagerie is a game that's both easy to learn and hard to put down, making it a great choice for anyone looking for a fun and competitive game that's perfect for players of all ages.
