Recognized by 2 award organizations, including the Swiss Gamers Award (2024 winner) and the Golden Geek (2024 winner).
In Harmonies, each player builds a landscape on their own board using colored tokens: stacks of gray become mountains, brown and green become trees, blue becomes rivers, and so on. On your turn you take three tokens from the central board and place them.
You also take animal cards, which show a small pattern of landscape. When your landscape matches the pattern, you place an animal there and score. It's quick, calm and beautiful, and works well for couples and families.
