Why you'll like it

How it plays

In Planet, each player builds a planet from a 12-sided magnetic core. Each round you choose a landscape tile and stick it onto your planet, creating oceans, deserts, mountains, forests and ice.

Animal cards are awarded to the player whose planet best matches each animal's habitat. Players score points for their animals and landscapes. It's quick and very tactile.
