Loco Momo, on explique et on joue

About Loco Momo, from BoardGameGeek:

As photographers, players are invited to the forests of Loco Momo to see who can capture the best shot! But the local animals aren't quite prepared for their group photo and are scattered about. When calling them over one by one to line up in front of your lens, they may just bring along a friend or two to really help you fill out your photo. Then position them in the best spots to create a charming photo worthy of the best photographer of Loco Momo! Loco Momo is a competitive game featuring drafting, tile placement, and set collection elements, falling under the broader mechanic of “tile drafting.” Players first choose an animal tile, and based on its unique movement, the animal moves to a different clearing, potentially allowing you to take even more animals of the same background color. Players then place your newly obtained tiles on your scoring board, which scores points based on specific arrangements (e.g., number of identical/different animals in a row, matching animals vertically, linking background colors, etc.). Like any good drafting game, take which benefits you most, but maybe keep an eye on what others may need! But distinguishing itself from others in the genre, Loco Momo offers an approachable theme and (family) friendlier atmosphere as the scoring system removes some of the bite of “hate/spite” drafting.
