Played for you

Karnivore Koala

post-eukalyptic hunting

On a transformed earth mutant animals roam, koalas turned carnivore and their leaders demand tribute that must be hunted. Three animal cards are on display for the menus, you hold three cards in hand and the koala kings are laid out.

In a round you have one turn. First, you roll dice and can discard a card to roll again. If you have accepted the roll, you then have any number of actions in any order: Place koalas – workers to the left of the king, residents and hunters to his right, never more than seven koalas plus king; Assign dice – dice symbols activate Koalas with a corresponding symbol, the effect is resolved immediately; some cards can be activated several times. Crowns are assigned to your king for his effect. Instead of assigning dice you can use them for instant effects – spears for hunting, crowns for taking over a koala from another tribe, draw a card or use a skull to remove a koala or reduce the limit of cards in hand. Villains are played from your hand for immediate effects. Animals in the menu must be hunted in the order of starter – main course – dessert. When your own workers show the symbols of an animal, you can hunt it with three spear symbols from cards and dice and receive the card; a new one is put on display.

At the end of your turn you clear up – used koalas are removed, unused skull symbols assigned to koalas, the hand limit is checked and cards are discarded and new ones drawn- If you are first to hunt the dessert, you win.

All in all a cute and wittily illustrated game, the combined management of cards and dice is cleverly done and the limit of cards in hands if devilishly scant!
