About the game
It's time to gather the animals all around us in Fantastic Park, but which animals does everyone want to see? We'll find out only after the animals have all found their places! In the game, each player starts the round with a hand of four or five domino-style tiles, with each half of the tile showing one of four types of animal (with the same animal possibly appearing on both halves). Players take turns laying a domino on the table, with each placed domino after the first lying adjacent to at least one side of a tile or on top of two tiles. Once everyone has only one domino in hand, players reveal that tile and score points for the round. For each type of animal on your tile, you find the largest orthogonally-connected group of that animal, then score 1 point for each animal in the group. If you have the same animal on both halves of your last tile, you score that animal twice. If you have a type of animal on your tile that no one else has, double the score for that animal. After scoring, return the revealed tile to hand, then draw more tiles to fill your hand once again. After a certain number of rounds, whoever has the most points wins!

Questions and answers
Fantastic Park supports 2–5 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Fantastic Park is 30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Fantastic Park for ages 7 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Fantastic Park has a complexity rating of 1.6 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
