Bring a tiny planet to your table
The spark of life jumps from your hands to form a world in your palm. In Planet, you guide the evolution of landscapes—oceans, deserts, mountains, and icy regions—trying to create environments where wildlife can flourish. Each planet starts as a bare core and grows as you place landscape tiles, turning play into a tactile, visual experience that combines strategy with imaginative world-building.
Over 12 turns, players draft landscape tiles and place them on their own 3D planet cores. The drafting order shifts as you select, adding a layer of anticipation and planning. The reward for success comes in the form of animal cards when habitat objectives are fulfilled, giving you a tangible sense of progression and a reason to adapt your approach across rounds.
How it plays
On each turn, you choose a tile that shows mountains, ice, forests, or deserts and place it on the planet you are shaping. Track your evolving world as oceans rise, deserts spread, mountains loom, and glaciers anchor new zones. The goal is to satisfy the conditions for animal life and collect corresponding cards, which adds a strategic incentive to optimize your habitat layout.
