Fast Sloths

Publisher's description:

"You are sloths — cuddly, lazy, and, oh well, slothful.

All animals (including humans) like to take vacations. We sloths are sitting around at the resort, of course, while all the other animals are running throughout the resort. We want to look around, too, and traveling around the resort to pick up tasty leaves would be great — but running around ourselves is just too tedious. All the other animals are having fun, and we want that, too, but…we are so slothful.

And then we have an idea: We’ll let ourselves be carried around by the other animals, thus getting around nicely!

Fast Sloths (a.k.a. “Faultier” in German) is a racing game that at its core is a classic pick-up-and-deliver game — except that we ourselves are the cargo being delivered.

You always play with six out of twelve different animal species, placing the giant game board in four different combinations. On a turn, you draft 2-3 cards of different animal types from the top of their face-up decks, then play as many animal cards as you like of a single type. Each animal provides a different type of movement or interaction with you.

Fast Sloths is a game free from the randomness that evolves only through the interaction between the players, doing so without any “take that” mechanisms — except for you snatching an animal from under the other players’ noses because you need to use it yourself.

Each race offers new challenges for you to get to the different trees faster than the other sloths. Enjoy all 256 different combinations, each with countless starting positions of the animals on the game board…and we are already working on new game boards and more animals for even more fun combinations!"
