Animal Kingdoms is a new title which newcomers Galactic Raptor Games has rolled out to Kickstarter for crowdfunding. In the game, players will utilize various allied animal cards (which contain some really excellent looking art) in attempts to control five kingdoms in order to secure a path to victory. Animal Kingdoms is for one to five players, ages 8+, and plays in around 45 minutes. You can secure a copy of the standard game for $29.00 or grab the deluxe edition for a $45.00 pledge. The Kickstarter is over 130% funded and runs through February 1st, with an expected delivery date of this November.
From Galactic Raptor:
In Animal Kingdoms, each player takes on the role of a house leader, battling to gain control of the five kingdoms. Cards in your hand represent noble beasts that have pledged their allegiance to you. Over the course of three ages, you must deploy your beasts to the various territories – making sure that you adhere to each kingdom’s decree – to try and improve your influential position in the kingdoms. The house that gains the most influence by the end of the third age is declared the one true leader of the realm.
Animal Kingdoms is the Winner of the 2018 Cardboard Edison Award!
