Satanimals (2019)

About this game

The goal of Satanimals is to build and maintain the ULTIMATE demonic petting zoo! Draw visitors, zoo keepers and SATANIMALS from the queue of cards to help you expand your zoo. Visitors may be kept for points or tossed into the sacrificial pit to stop rivals petting zoos from progressing. There are 5 different SATANIMALS to collect for your petting zoo in order to attract visitors: Karma the Dog, Ouija the Alpaca, Lucifer the Goat, Envy the Peacock and of course, Sloth the Sloth! Place your SATANIMALS down in stacks, the more SATANIMALS in a stack, the more points it's worth. But be wary, a zoo doesn't run itself... You will need to hire zoo keepers to protect you animals from any nasty sacrifices conducted by your opponents. How will you build your zoo? Quickly, to catch your opponents off guard, or slowly, to amass a grand amount of points? —description from the publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 13 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
