Five kingdoms, each with its own law about which beasts may be played there. You send animal cards into territories to build the strongest presence, but every kingdom's decree limits what you can legally place. Three ages, then the majorities are counted.
Who it's for
Players who want area majority without a heavy rulebook, and groups that enjoy a card game with real elbows.
Not for you if…
You want deep engine building — this stays a light majority game, and a bad hand can leave you shut out of two kingdoms at once.
Vibe's take
Fast, sharp majority scrapping — every turn is one card and a decision about where it hurts the others most.
