The game "Territory" is basically a lotto, but, of course, not an ordinary one, but with add-ons, tricks and fantasies. The bottom line is that each player needs to place as many enclosures with as many animals as possible on their territory. And the more exotic these animals are, the more points you will earn. On his turn, the player names the number of the cell on which each of the participants must place something: you can either populate your lands with animals, or divide them with coral fences.
The game develops strategic thinking and addition and analytical skills. Here you can’t do without counting and comparing which animals are more profitable to collect: populate an enclosure with a dozen penny squirrels, for example, or maybe it’s better to drive only three, but expensive, moose there. Rely on regular arrivals of the star bear (for 11 points) or let a herd of hares frolic (a nickel is a thing). The main thing is that as soon as you collect at least someone, close the enclosure correctly, then for each animal above the norm they will give additional points (mathematics will also come in handy here - addition within one hundred and twenty).
Earn points and move your chip to the finish line. The suspense is that there may not be enough animals for everyone. And also what numbers your rivals will call: whether the configuration is profitable for you or not.
Unlike most strategies, which can last an hour and a half, a round of “Territory” is played for 20-30 minutes - not at all tiring.
And I can’t help but say a few words about the aesthetic component of the game. To me she seems sophisticated and enchanting, but to my family she just looks strangely drawn. But they, of course, don’t understand a thing - the game is very beautiful! It’s all violet-shimmering, with figures of marvelous animals, transparent like small stained glass windows, chips and coral gardens. And those who don’t see beauty, naturally, only know what to ask: why is this wolf in shorts and a boar in a skirt. Because this is post-irony, you fools! And beauty is in the eye of the beholder, just know that.
If a child loves board games, then at the age of 6 he will already be able to play, but the manufacturer labels it “8+”.
