A clever little game about loading animals two-by-two onto your ark, built on a sharp I-cut-you-choose mechanic. On your turn you either split a herd in the center into two groups and take a food crate, or spend crates to load a whole group onto your ark. But animals that arrive in pairs score nothing, so you actually want to avoid Noah's famous couples.
Who it's for
Families and light-Euro fans who want a short set-collection game with a genuinely clever cut-and-choose twist.
Not for you if…
You want deep strategy or lots of components, since this is a small, quick game with modest table presence.
Vibe's take
Crunchy and clever for its size, a tug-of-war of splitting herds to price them versus buying them yourself.
