What to Expect
In Collect! players compete to form animal Alliances and claim crowns in quick rounds. You draw and place cards into your row aiming to line up matching animals while animal powers can swap, move or remove cards. Games are short (around 15 minutes per description) and rely on timing, interaction and some luck. The theme is colorful jungle chaos after the king is gone, with eight unique animals driving replayability.
Who Is This Game For?
Collect! is aimed at families and casual groups; recommended age is 8+. With a short playtime and straightforward rules it's accessible to newcomers and children, while the interactive animal abilities give more experienced players tactical choices.
How It Works
The core is Set Collection: draw and place cards to build sets of the same animal. Take-That elements mean animal abilities directly affect opponents by swapping, crawling or removing cards. Victory conditions use Half and Full Crowns, so players race to complete Alliances. Short rounds and strong player interaction make each game dynamic.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Jérémy Ducret and Johannes Goupy, Collect! pairs set-collection with direct Take-That interaction and distinct animal powers. The game is presented as portable and fast, featuring eight unique animals whose abilities create unpredictable twists and quick decision-making.
