Planet is an environmental-themed strategy board game for 2 to 4 players, recommended for ages 8 and up. The game features a unique drafting and tile-placement mechanism where players build 3D planet cores using magnetic 12-sided globes. Over 12 turns, participants select and arrange landscape tiles representing oceans, deserts, mountains, or frozen terrain to create optimal ecosystems.
Players compete to attract wildlife by fulfilling habitat objectives, earning animal cards for populating their planets. The game includes high-quality components, with each player using a dimensional planet core as their personal board. Planet was a top-selling release for Blue Orange Games at Gen Con and shares design elements with their other titles like Kingdomino and Photosynthesis. The gameplay combines strategic decision-making with accessible rules suitable for both family play and adult gaming groups.
Things to Keep in MindA common concern among reviewers is the unclear nature of the instructions, often prompting the need for external resources like online videos to understand gameplay. Furthermore, a notable number of families, especially those with younger children, reported that the game struggled to maintain interest, with some finding it boring or overly complicated. Why You'll Like ItPlayers frequently appreciate the game's appealing visual design and unique core concept. Additionally, many find the game sessions to be relatively short, which is often seen as a benefit for family play.
