Description

In Kodama 3D, players will grow trees in three-dimensional space. Players move their kodama pieces around a 4x4 grid of branch tiles in order to pick the branches they want to add to their tree. When a player adds a branch to their tree that doesn’t match what it is touching, they choose a goal card from the ones available. After all players have placed 12 branches on their tree, players score all of their goal cards. The player with the most points wins.

Quotes (from this video)
  • this is the London box but I've got the Paris map in there and I think that's my favorite version of the game now
  • a brilliant Paulo Mory tug-of War Style game all about Chess and this game was so so interesting
  • the more I'm playing this the more I'm understanding how to really exploit that hand of cards and know when to throw games that you can afford to throw in order to boost up your longevity by keeping your mental strength as high as possible to make sure you have more cards in your hand as well as more pawns to boost your strength
  • this one might be one of the quickest climbers through my rankings
  • the more I'm playing it the more the the depth of the game is starting to reveal itself
  • this is a brilliant abstract game and I don't use that word lightly it is truly an excellent piece of design and it's definitely flown right into my top 100 now for the first time
  • playing new games that I've really liked such as ter pyramides has been an absolute Joy
