"Save us! We're lost and looking for shelter."

Kindred Haven is a fast-paced, strategic card game for 3 to 8 players that blends urgent, tactical grid management with long-term spatial planning. Players compete as rival sanctuary directors racing to rescue displaced animals, stabilize their volatile daily needs, and construct a thriving ecosystem capable of sustaining them permanently.

Flow of Play
The game operates on a tense, simultaneous or rapid-turn framework designed to eliminate downtime, even at the maximum player count. Each player is dealt 1 card and plays 3 icons (top or bottom) or flips it to place a forest. Forest removes icons from existing placements, but gives boosts to others through adjacency. After 4 rounds, a wave of adoptions are resolved; after 8 rounds another wave before the game ends.

Every animal features immediate, turn-by-turn criteria across four need categories: Clean, Active, Tender, and Puzzle. However, animals aren't just about hoarding points—they require precision. Each creature demands a specific Middle Target (the "sweet spot") for adoption: playing too aggressively could miss the mark, so having a spatial backup plan is important! In cases of ties, adoption goes to the habitat with THE MOST of the second category. If STILL tied, then the habitat with the LEAST of the 3rd category wins!

At the end of the game, players tally their adoption points, longest tree chain, and sets of collected food. The player with the best habitat is the winner of Kindred Haven!

Mechanisms: Set Collection, Grid Coverage, Target Value Management, Simultaneous Action Selection, Network/Circle Building.
