Quotes (from this video)
- Super Kawaii Pets is a really easy to learn easy to teach set collection game that is filled with nice thinky decisions on your turn you're selecting animals or helpers from the market in an attempt to match the animals you've collected with the care that they need
- once you get your animals what they need which is super satisfying by the way they flip to their happy side and then are eligible to join other animals in a fitting location that matches their preferences and animal type
- the art and the variety in the animals I know a lot of games that'll recycle the same small handful of art pieces throughout but in super kawaii pets there is no shortage of charming little animals
- this is one of those games that I think serves as a bit of a triple whammy ... teach friends or family new to the Hobby a game that might be a little bit more advanced than what they're used to but is still approachable
- if you have young kids this is a great way to teach them different concepts and mechanisms of games in a very approachable package
- if you're just someone who loves animals or especially cute artwork like this then it's a guaranteed win for you
- we can highly recommend super kawaii vets
