DBKH (BGG)

Cozy tile placement game. Enough strategy to be stimulating but mostly a relaxing experience!

MCDMs (BGG)

Excellent little abstract puzzle game. The absolutely gorgeous production elevates it even higher.

F.A.Q

Harmonies

The central board has two sides: A side for 2–4 players, with 5 spaces for placing tokens. A solo side, with 3 spaces for placing tokens. On the solo side, the icons showing 3 tokens and 3 tokens crossed out with an “X” indicate that, at the end of your turn, you must return the 6 remaining tokens to the box (they do not go back into the bag for the rest of the game). Then, draw 3 new tokens from the bag and place one on each of the 3 spaces on the central board.

To score your river, count the number of tokens it contains from one end to the other, following the shortest path. This means that if your river has a branch, you must follow the shortest path between its two ends. If you have multiple rivers, only your longest river scores points.

To score your river, count the number of tokens it contains from one end to the other, following the shortest path. If your river forms a loop, choose a starting token, then identify the token directly opposite it to calculate the length of your river.

If you run out of Animal Cubes, you can use substitutes, as the number of cubes is effectively unlimited. This situation is quite surprising in a first game, although not impossible! Is it clear that each player can have only 4 Animal Cards above their personal board at any one time? If so, everything is fine — you’ve simply placed a lot of animals (well done)! If not, we invite you to reread the relevant section of the rulebook and get back to us if you have any doubts or questions. We wish you many enjoyable games and hope you continue bringing your landscapes to life with as much harmony as possible!

The bonuses indicated on Spirit Cards are scored at the end of the game. Nature Spirit Cards work in the same way as Animal Cards: to score the bonus points from a Spirit Card, a player must place the corresponding Spirit Cube on their personal board during the game, provided they have completed the pattern shown on the card. The points awarded are not fixed; they depend on the landscapes created according to the chosen Spirit Card. The bonus points from a Spirit Card are scored in addition to the points earned for the landscapes created during the game.
