Animals Gathering - Wonderful World Board Games

Background Story

animals gathering-Crystal Forest, a magical kingdom home to mighty creatures, was once teeming with life. But under the intrusion of dark magic, there is no longer any grunting, growling, chirping, buzzing, or squeaking. We mages now go forth to gather the magic stones, arrange them within our spellbooks, and return everything to its rightful place.
In Animals Gathering, players compete to return life to Crystal Forest by choosing animal index cards and rolling dice to fill them in with magic stones. Once filled, the animal is summoned and provides a powerful ability. But be careful! If a dice you roll shows a stone you can’t place, the other players get to use it. The first player to finish five cards ends the game, but the player who chooses their cards and dice wisely—and perhaps gets a touch of luck—may just be the victor!
