A brilliant game

Vivarium is currently my favourite Victory Point based game. The unique way to pick cards using dominoes is one I have never come across before and it adds a layer of challenge and tactical thinking I have not felt when playing a board game. I recommend this game for anyone who likes a VP collector and also watching your friends cry when you block them getting the cards they want!

GAME OVERVIEW

1898, Siberia, the seismologist Edgar Vuntaf discovers a continent free of any human presence, sheltering a teeming life, in forms never encountered before! Unknown plants, colossal creatures... Faced with this shocking discovery, the world's scientific elite, gathered in Paris for the Universal exposition, create the Vivarium Syndicate, and decide to send explorers into this new continent

An efficient and tense card collection game, with a great artistic direction! Each turn players use dominoes to create coordinates that allow them to build their card collection. After 7 rounds, the player that has successfully completed their objectives and collected the greatest creatures wins the game.

Cards are placed on the board. Each turn, players use pairs of dominoes to create coordinates and grab the corresponding card on the board. Among this grid of cards: fantastic creatures divided according to their species and biotopes, scientific objectives but also various equipment cards to facilitate the taking of future cards. After 7 rounds, the player that has successfully completed their objectives and collected the greatest creatures wins the game. 

2-4 PLAYERS | 30 MINS | AGES 10+
