Who it's for

You like drafting and tile-laying, and a hands-on 3D board appeals. Great for a quiet game with kids from eight.

Not for you if…

You want a lot of direct conflict. Most of the tension is about who picks which tile first.

Vibe's take

Calm and puzzly: you turn your planet in your hands, hunt for the tile that completes a habitat, and quietly glare when someone takes it first.

About this game

In Planet, the spark of life is in your hands. Each player gets a bare planet core, and each turn you pick a tile showing mountains, ice, forest, desert or water and place it on your planet. Build smart, and your continents form the right conditions for animals to appear. Whoever best meets the conditions for a given animal takes its card, and the player with the most densely populated world wins. It is a drafting and tile-placing puzzle with a three-dimensional twist, with a colourful, friendly look. Two to four players, about forty-five minutes, from age eight.
