Planet

Description

What if you could hold the whole world in your hands? Build your own world of rich and varied habitats to make a home for your favourite species? Carefully balance the oceans, forests and deserts to build a thriving animal kingdom? In Planet, each player begins the game with an empty planet and ever the course of the game you’ll at 12 magnets to the 12 faces to build you own world.

On each turn, players will take turns to draft one tile from the pool of available tiles. Tiles are split into six zones which could each have a different terrain; mountains, ocean, forest, desert and ice. A tile could be 100% one terrain or have multiple types. When you place it onto your globe, you can place it anywhere, perhaps extending an existing zone of a particular terrain.

In later rounds you will each compete over end of round cards which reward you with animals based on whether your planet is most well suited to their needs. Some animals want the largest zone of a single terrain next to another terrain type or not next to a specific terrain type. Others will go to the player with the most of a specific terrain. At the end of the game, points will be award for the different animals and the player with the most points wins.

Planet is published by Blue Orange Games – a publisher well known for their great family games with high production value and Planet is no exception. The dodecahedron domes are unlike anything you’ve ever seen before in a board game and the big chunky magnetic sides are a joy to play with. Planet is a great choice for families and is certainly a game that will turn heads.
