Karnivore Koala is a board game released in 2015 for 2–6 players, 20–30 minutes per game, and ages 12 and up. It was designed by André Schillo and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Take That, and Set Collection.
Karnivore Koala is a cards´n´dice game set in a post-eucalyptic world in which 2-6 players are on the hunt for mutant animals. Each player controls one koala king and builds up a tribe by placing workbears, villagebears and huntbears in it. Rolling and re-rolling the 5 special dice allows a player to activate their koala's special effects. Backstabbears will be used to foil each player`s plans and deny their victory. The first player that was able to hunt an appetizer, a main dish and a dessert pleased their king and wins the game!
Karnivore Koala supports 2–6 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 Karnivore Koala is 20–30 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 Karnivore Koala for ages 12 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.
Karnivore Koala has a complexity rating of 1.4 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.
