HARM🍃NIES

How to play Harmonies

1. Your turn: take all 3 tokens from one spot on the central board and place them on your 23-hex landscape — that part is mandatory. Any time during your turn you may also take 1 animal card (max 4 in progress) and settle any number of animal cubes. The spot refills when your turn ends.
2. Placing tokens: any token can go on an empty space. Stacking exists only to build three things — a tree (green on top of 0, 1, or 2 browns), a mountain (2 or 3 grays), or a building (red on top of exactly one brown, gray, or red). Blue and yellow always stay on the ground, and nothing lands on a space where an animal has settled.
3. Animals: each card shows a small habitat pattern. Build it anywhere on your board — any rotation, tree and mountain heights exact, buildings on any base — and move the card's bottom cube onto the pattern's marked token (it must be cube-free). One token can serve several habitats. More cubes placed = higher card score; a card with no cubes placed scores 0.
4. Landscape scoring: trees 1/3/5 by height · mountains 1/3/7, but only when adjacent to another mountain · each group of 2+ yellows 5 · buildings 5 when at least 3 different colors top the surrounding spaces.
5. Water depends on the board side the host picks in the lobby. Side A — The River: only your best river scores, 2/5/8/11/15 for 2–6 tokens measured end-to-end by the shortest path, then +4 per extra token. Side B — The Islands: your blue tokens carve the board into islands — every separated group of spaces (empty or built) is worth 5, and an unseparated board is a single island.
6. Plan ahead: the 🦔 Animals button opens the cheatsheet — every animal still in the deck, filterable by the terrain its habitat needs.
7. Misclicked? Until you end your turn, Start my turn over rewinds everything the turn did — tokens, card, cubes — and lets you take it from the top.
8. Game end: the pouch runs dry, or someone ends a turn with 2 or fewer empty spaces. The round finishes so everyone gets equal turns, then landscapes and animals are tallied. Ties go to the most animal cubes settled.

Harmonies is by Johan Benvenuto, published by Libellud. This is an unofficial fan implementation of the base rules (Side A boards; the Nature's Spirit module and solo mode aren't included). The animal deck here is an original design in the game's style — patterns, cube colors, and point ladders of our own making.
