Harmonies

Welcome to Harmonies, where creativity meets strategy as you build vibrant landscapes filled with colorful tokens and thriving habitats for your beloved animals! Your goal? To masterfully incorporate these habitats into your terrains and attract the most animals to earn the highest points and claim victory!

Each turn begins with the first player selecting a set of 3 terrain tokens from the central area to add to their personal board. In addition, players have the option to choose one Animal card from a display of five or place an Animal cube from their existing Animal cards onto any completed patterns that align with their personal objectives. Keep in mind there's a limit of 4 cards per player! Once a turn concludes, be sure to refill with a fresh set of tokens and a new Animal card if desired.

The strategic placement of terrain tokens depends on the goals outlined on the Animal cards and the unique scoring rules of various terrain types like mountains, fields, and forests. For instance, mountain tiles reward players based on their height—1 tile nets you 1 point, while 3 stacked tiles can score a whopping 7! Be cautious, though: if a mountain isn’t adjacent to another, it scores nothing. Once all cubes from a particular Animal card have been placed, that card is set aside, and a new one can be drawn. At the game’s end, scores are tallied based on the highest card numbers that remain uncovered.

The game concludes when there are no tokens left in the bag, or when at least one player has filled 2 or fewer empty spaces on their board. The round continues until every player has had an equal number of turns. The player with the most points will emerge as the winner!

For an even richer gameplay experience, consider utilizing Nature's Spirit cards. During setup, each player can choose one of two spirit cards and place a Spirit cube on it. These spirit cards follow similar placement rules as Animal cards but offer ongoing effects once completed. Plus, they count towards your 4-card hand limit.

Get ready to immerse yourself in the enchanting world of Harmonies! Unleash your strategic prowess and let the beauty of nature guide you to victory!
