Gameplay (4 players)

Phase 1: Setup

  • All players get income. The starting player and the player on his or her left get 1 gold. The other two players get 2 gold.
  • Add food in the food stands according to the exhibition tile.
  • Put 2 new artifacts, 2 new cages, 1 addon and 3 new baby pets.
  • If there are remaining size 2 pets, they grow up to size 3. If there are remaining size 3 pets, they are discarded and 1 meat is added.

Phase 2: Shopping

  • All players simultaneously and secretly divide their imps and gold into groups.
  • A group must have at least 1 imp, but can have any number of gold.
  • You can have at most 6 groups. You don't need to assign all imps or all gold.
  • When everyone are finished, reveal all groups.
  • Send the groups starting with the largest size (imp+gold). If multiple players are tied, start with the starting player.
  • If a group is sent, all gold with it goes to the bank. If you decide to keep it home, you take back the gold.

Phase 3: Need Cards

  • Place new cages and addons, which cannot be moved later, but can be removed or replaced.
  • Put all pets in cages (1 pet in 1 cage), they can be moved later with any suffering and mutations on it.
  • If you cannot put all pets in cages, you must release the remaining pets and lose reputation for it.
  • Each player has 1 card of each colour in hand at any time except phase 3.
  • Draw 1 card of the same color for each revealed color bar and assign one card for each matching colour bar.
  • You can assign potions, which needs nothing, instead of a need card.

Phase 4: Showing Off

Evaluating Needs

  • For each hunger need, spend a food token corresponding to the type of pet or put a suffering token on it.
  • For each poop need, put a manure token in the cage.
  • For each play need, hire an imp to entertain it or put a suffering token on it. An imp can play with two adjacent pets at once.
  • If a pet’s anger needs exceed its cage’s strength, use one available imp for every anger need that is not handled by the cage or its addon, or it escapes and you lost it. All used imps for angry needs go to the hospital.
  • If a pet’s magic needs exceed its cage’s antimagic, the pet mutates. Put 1 mutation token on the pet for each magic need that is not handled by the cage or its addon. If a pet has 2 or more mutations, it disappears and you lost it.
  • If the total of manures and disease needs are larger than 2, put one suffering token for each point by which it exceeded 1.
  • Discard need cards until you have 1 card of each colour, or 2-3 with related artifacts.
  • If the number of suffering tokens on the pet is larger than its size, you lost it.

  • The symbols in the light frame count positively, while the symbols in the dark frame count negatively.
  • If your exhibition score is 0 or less, you don't take part in the competition.
  • The player with the highest score scores 8 reputation, then 6, 4 and 2.
