Lautapelit NOA (Nordic)

Noa (Animals on Board) is easy to learn, quick to play and great for the whole family to enjoy together. It's also excellent proof that a game can be clever, easy and fast.

Each player has their own Ark in which they try to collect animals. Noah takes all the pairs, so it's up to the players to look after the lone animals as well as the families. At the start of the round, a large herd of different animals is piled up in the middle of the table. Before they can fit into the players' chests, the herd needs to be divided into more suitable groups. On their turn, players can divide the herd as they see fit, and are rewarded with one meal for their efforts. Later, when the groups have been reduced and players have accumulated food, the player can invite the mob of animals into their coffin. In this case, however, the animals must be fed. If there is not enough food, the group cannot be allowed to enter yet.

The game ends when one player has 10 or more animals at the end of the round. Players then remove from their sheets those animals that accumulate to two, and count their points for the remainder.
