About this board game

Animix is a 10-minute animal-scoring game for 2–6 players, in which you aim to earn the most points by keeping the right mix of animals.

Each animal you keep scores points based on the other animals played in the center of the table. This creates a lively puzzle of choices: the cards you hold matter, but so do the cards you decide to play.

Every type of animal scores in its own way, so there is no single mix that works in every situation. To perform well, plan ahead and consider how the animals in the center may affect the value of the cards you keep.

  • Players: 2–6

The central challenge in Animix is finding the perfect balance between your personal collection and the shared selection on the table. Keeping one animal may be valuable because of the animals already played, while playing another may change the scoring possibilities.

With its short play time and focus on animal combinations, Animix offers a compact contest of timing and planning. Watch the center, assess the different scoring patterns, and make sure your kept cards and played cards work together as effectively as possible.
