Build your own tiny world with mountains, forests and oceans and lure the most animals onto it.
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 ifβ¦
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.
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.
