About this board game
Animals Gathering is a dice family game for 2-5 players that plays in about 40 minutes. In Crystal Forest, dark magic has caused the animals to become extinct, and the players take on the role of mages working to restore them.
To revive magical animals, gather the forest’s Magic Stones and place them in Animal Index Cards. Each revived animal becomes your companion, providing powers and points that can help shape your path to victory.
Animals Gathering combines several engaging mechanisms in one approachable experience:
- Dice management as you work with the results available to you
- Tile placement while gathering resources in the forest
- Set collection as you assemble what is needed to revive animals
- Push your luck choices that add tension to your decisions
The goal is to earn the most points by placing Magic Stones into Animal Index Cards and bringing animals back to life. The powers granted by your animal companions add another layer to the race for points, making each revival an important part of your overall strategy.
With its blend of dice decisions, collecting, placement, and a magical restoration theme, Animals Gathering offers a family-friendly contest for 2-5 players. Released in 2023, it invites players to resist the darkness and help revive the magical animals of Crystal Forest.
