Product Description

The critters of Mosaic Forest have gathered for an art festival, and it is time to see whose creation will earn the most admiration.

In Canvas Critters, 2–6 players use colourful, animal-shaped wooden meeples to build imaginative mosaics inspired by different Theme Cards. Each round gives you a fresh creative challenge as you choose your pieces and turn them into a design of your own.

Once the creations are complete, players secretly vote for their favourites. The scoring stays hidden as the game continues, so no one knows exactly who is leading until the ribbons are revealed at the end.

With simple rules, bright wooden pieces and countless ways to interpret each theme, Canvas Critters is designed around creativity rather than complicated gameplay. Its 20–30 minute playing time makes it an easy fit for family game nights, casual gatherings, classrooms and party groups.
