EARTH: ANIMAL KINGDOM
What is Earth: Animal Kingdom?
Earth: Animal Kingdom is an expansion for the award-winning board game Earth, published by Inside Up Games. It introduces 36 asymmetric Animal abilities and 56 custom-shaped Animeeples that move across your tableau, triggering powerful effects — without changing the core rules of the base game.
Expansion Specs
- Players: 1–5 (matches base game player count)
- Compatibility: Requires the Earth base game
- Publisher: Inside Up Games
- Mechanics Added: Asymmetric animal abilities, Animeeple movement, shared Global Abilities each round
- Compatible With: Earth base game and Earth: Abundance expansion
What Does Earth: Animal Kingdom Add?
Each player chooses an Animal card at the start of the game, granting a unique personal ability tied to how their Animeeple moves across their tableau. At the end of each round, a shared Global Ability card activates, rewarding all players based on their individual progress — creating a dynamic where your engine must serve both your Animal’s movement needs and the evolving global conditions.
Who Is This Expansion For?
Earth: Animal Kingdom is ideal for players who want more asymmetry and replayability from Earth. Each of the 36 Animal cards plays differently, making no two games feel the same. It layers cleanly onto the base game and is fully compatible with Earth: Abundance.
