PLAYED FOR YOU
Fauna kompakt
The Habitats of the AFGHAN FOX?
Fauna, the assessment game on animals, for three years now enthuses fans of animals as well as all fans of dodgy quiz and assessment games. After Fauna logic and Fauna junior we now get the expansion for the core game. Fauna kompakt you can either play as a compact stand-alone game or use it to expand the core game with 170 new animals and play it with up to eight players.
If you play Fauna kompakt as a stand-alone game you assemble the board from 7 land and 7 ocean regions from board cards and chart cards. The animal cards in the box show general information. Players in turn bid for the number of correct statements they can give on the measurements and habitats where the animal on the visible cards lives in the wild – you name the number of data that you believe you can state, but you need not raise the bid. The card names the data you need to give: Number of habitats, weight of the animal, length, length of tail or overall length. The player naming the highest bid places assessment markers and scores the number of assessment markers placed plus three, but only if all his assessments are correct. All other players always score points equal to their bid. When all players have been starting player twice you win with the highest total score. When you use the game as an expansion for Fauna playing with seven or eight players, you can place assessment markers on top of other markers, but score 2 points less if you do so, and play goes on until one player reaches or tops a score of 80 points.
In this compact edition, too, Fauna is a fantastic assessment game which ideally combines information and fun in playing.
