Rocket Ranchers (2nd Edition)

Rocket Ranchers (2nd Edition)

2026·David Bock

2 - 5 players
30 - 45 min

From BoardGameGeek

Use your tractor beams to grab alien animals and fill your corrals with abundance or variety. But be careful of pesky space cats wreaking havoc on your plans! Each turn, you will choose one of your available tractor beam shape to collect a set of wildlife cards from a central grid. Each card collected must be flipped face-down to start a new corral or placed in an existing corral with other animals of the same type. When the deck runs out, score each corral for abundance (quantity of cards) or variety (quantity of colors). Be careful! Adjacent space cat cards will always come along for the ride and the player with the most cats at the end of the game will lose points. -description from the publisher
