HARMONIES: A journey through nature’s wonders!
A nice blend of strategy, beautiful artwork, and a balance between relaxing and challenging gameplay.
In Harmonies you will build landscapes by placing coloured tokens and creating habitats for animals. The goal is to earn the most points by incorporating habitats wisely into your landscapes and settling as many animals as possible.
How does it play? Easily! You can take these actions in the order of your choosing:
- Take and place tokens: Draw three tokens from any one space on the central board. Then place them on your personal board following specific placement rules. Tokens can be stacked to create trees, buildings, or mountains.
- Take an animal card: Choose one animal card from the five face-up cards and place it above your personal board. You can have up to four cards simultaneously.
- Place an animal cube: Place animal cubes on your personal board according to the habitat patterns depicted on the animal cards. Each animal card indicates the required pattern and the specific token colors needed to place the animal cubes.
The game ends when either the pouch is empty when you need to refill the central board, or there are two or fewer unoccupied spaces on any player’s personal board. At the end of the game, players tally their points based on the landscapes created and animals placed. The player with the most points wins!
Harmonies offers a wealth of variability that contributes to its sustained engagement across numerous sessions. Each playthrough introduces fresh challenges and opportunities, thanks to its randomized setup and the diverse array of animal cards and tokens. Players must continually adapt to varying token placements and habitat configurations, which invigorates the gameplay. Furthermore, the exploration of different strategies, such as concentrating on particular habitat types or optimizing the arrangement of animal cubes for maximum scoring, affords players multiple avenues for mastery.
Harmonies stands out as a meticulously designed and highly captivating board game, excelling in both solo and multiplayer formats. Although some may find the solo scoring system less gratifying, this minor drawback does not detract from the game's strategic complexity and its potential for replayability.
