Wild Cards

About this board game

Wild Cards is a 30-minute game for 2–5 players about attracting animals, competing for species majorities, and building the most valuable collection.

Across a variety of beautiful habitats, players attract animals from cunning species, including peacocks, squirrels, ibex, meerkats, lions, and more. Animals appear on display, creating opportunities to expand your collection while challenging opponents to compete for control.

To succeed, you must bluff and outbid the other players. Collecting majorities in different animal species is crucial, but the balance can shift quickly. Stay alert, because a majority that seems secure may change faster than expected as animals are collected and new opportunities arise.

• Attract animals from a variety of species.
• Offer animals beautiful habitats to live in.
• Bluff and outbid opponents for animals on display.
• Compete to collect species majorities.
• Attract animal Leader cards to unlock special powers.

Winning species majorities brings more than points: it can also help you receive the Leader of a species. These animal Leader cards provide special powers, adding another layer to the changing competition and giving players new ways to respond to the evolving game.

In Wild Cards, every decision contributes to the value of your collection. Watch the other players, react to shifting majorities, and make the most of the animals available. At the end of the game, the player with the most points wins.
