Animal Empire

It definitely needs a player aid if you are going to play it. Hard game for me since I hate negotiating and working with other people in alliances. Not really my type of game, but I can see it being interesting for the right group.

Played With 2 players, must be better with 4.

It's ok. Not amazing. A good core idea although there is some unnecessary complication. The game tends to over stay its welcome due to tug-of-war nature of it. The person in last place will know they have no chance of coming back yet can't do much more than delay the inevitable.

Mind you I've only played 2p. This game may be better at higher player counts although my desire to test it is low.
