In Animal Kingdoms, each player takes on the role of a house leader, battling to gain control of the five kingdoms. Cards in your hand represent noble beasts that have pledged their allegiance to you. Over the course of three ages, you must deploy your beasts to the various territories – making sure that you adhere to each kingdom’s decree – to try and improve your influential position in the kingdoms. The house that gains the most influence by the end of the third age is declared the one true leader of the realm.

We are still working on the fulfillment strategy with several potential fulfillment partners to get Animal Kingdoms to you the proper way, with fulfillment partners in different parts of the world which will be chosen closer to shipping, as things tend to change over time.

What do you get when two board game publishers who love outer space and dinosaurs join forces? Galactic Raptor Games! That’s right, Carla Kopp of Weird Giraffe Games (Fire in the Library, Stellar Leap, Dreams of Tomorrow) and Dan Letzring of Letiman Games (Groves, Neverland Rescue, Dino Dude Ranch) are joining forces under their new brand Galactic Raptor Games. 

Although this is our first game being published under this company, we have both been in the industry for years now and have delivered a combined total of 8 Kickstarter campaigns between the two of us. We hope that combining our strengths will lead to a bigger and better future for our companies and for more fun games getting to your tables! 

We love getting to know our community better, so be sure to connect with us on social media and say hi!
