About the game

In the universe of Aniversus, players become coaches of animal teams representing their civilizations. Due to limited resources, they rely on the Animania League, similar to human football league, to resolve conflicts. These matches happen in space stadiums where animals with special abilities compete for victory. To succeed, coaches must make smart choices and use strategies tailored to their animals. You're the coach of your very own team in Aniversus (Cats vs Squirrels). It's a big deal – you call the shots, come up with sneaky game plans, and help your animal buddies level up, get energy, and show what they're really made of. During each turn, a maximum of 3 card-playing actions can be performed. You must draw and play cards to make strategic moves, enabling your team to generate greater productivity, gain powers, and use skills to interrupt the opponents. The team who accumulates 10 powers on their field first can attempt a shoot by rolling a die. Victory in the game is achieved when each team successfully scores twice. Here's what you'll get up to in Aniversus: 1. Use your resources smart so your team can come out swinging when it's game time. 2. Dive into battles that make you think ahead, switch things up on the fly, and use your animals' special moves in smart ways. 3. Watch your crew get tougher, smarter, and cooler as they win more and get ready for the big leagues. In Aniversus, every game is your chance to outsmart the other coaches. Can you climb to the top and make your team the legends of the Space Arena? It's all in your hands. — description from the creators of Aniversus
