Just Wild (2021)

About this game

Survival is a question of territory. Lynx, bear, wolf, or ibex — choose your animal and cleverly lay down cards to enlarge and protect your territory. In Just Wild, four endangered animal species have to share the space. Place your cards carefully to block your opponents and ensure the survival of your species. In more detail, when it is your turn, add the cards that are already on the table to cover those of your fellow players, or discard a card face down to enlarge the forest and create a new space to explore. Be the first to secure your territory by cleverly placing your game pieces to protect the youngest animals of your species: in nature everyone is on their own!

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 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
