Harmonies

Quick to learn game with enough strategy to keep it interesting. Very visually and tactilely appealing game, pretty chill to play, relatively short games.Nice component quality, especially for the price, wooden tokens and thick card stock, though I think the cube components could have been more interesting to match the quality visual design of the other components they still work just fine.The game is essentially a tile laying game where you are trying to match patterns to score points. Scoring points is based on landscape patterns for each of the six tile types, plus additional patterns on animal cards that are unique to each player. Thinking ahead helps to score more. It can feel very satisfying when a plan works out.Player interaction is pretty minimal. Players take turns deciding which pile of tokens to take and which animal cards they want, beyond that players are just working on their own board without any interference from other players.Overall, it is a quick to play fun game, that is visually appealing, with enough strategy to keep it interesting without being too complex. It's a good game in my opinion.

Harmonies is a beautiful, thinky little puzzle that’s quickly become a favorite at my table. The production is outstanding—the art is warm and inviting, and the way the wooden pieces stack into a 3D landscape makes the board look fantastic by the end of the game. It really does give you that satisfying “I built something” feeling every time.Gameplay is simple to learn but offers more depth than it first appears. On your turn you’re just drafting pieces and placing them, but trying to line up the different scoring goals (animals, terrain types, and height) gives you plenty to think about without bogging the game down. It hits that sweet spot of being relaxing to play but still engaging for gamers who like a bit of a puzzle.That said, there are a few caveats. Player interaction is pretty minimal; you’re mostly focused on your own board, with only light tension over what others might take from the display. If your group likes direct conflict or heavy strategy, this will feel more like “multiplayer solitaire.” The game can also end faster than you expect, especially once people know what they’re doing, so sometimes it feels like your engine is just starting to hum when the final round hits.Overall, I’d recommend Harmonies if you enjoy nature‑themed games like Cascadia or Azul‑style puzzles, and you want something that looks great on the table and is easy to teach to family and friends. It’s not the most interactive or complex game out there, but as a beautiful, calming, brain‑tickling puzzle, it does its job very well.

Such a great game! The art is beautiful, the packaging is designed really well so pieces don’t fall around while it’s stored, and the pieces are really good quality. The rules are simple so it’s easy to learn quickly and there are three levels of difficulty so there’s a lot of replay value. We played it over 10 times the first week we had it. Definitely earned its super high rating on boardgamegeek. When it’s on sale it’s a fantastic buy!

Amazing game. Gorgeous. Fun. Charming. Peaceful. Quick. Strategically varied, interesting, and challenging—we still make mistakes after probably 50 games. It's a puzzle strategy game. Great replayability if you aren't playing it a ton and need complex strategy to keep you interested.We were disappointed when we added the Nature Spirits that there wasn't more variety, and we're dying for a real expansion. Replayability really falls away if you play a lot, which is a common issue. Lots of people seem to play lots of differeng games, whereas we like to play one or two and then move on to another one or two when we get tired of them. We can play games like Terraforming Mars for 6-8 months, but after just 3 weeks of 2-5 games of Harmonies a day, it's starting to feel too repetitive. AWESOME game. Expansion, please!

I'm so in love with this game and play it multiple times per week for relaxation and brain health. I'm super-picky about themes, mechanics, and the look of a game. This one ticks all the boxes and brings me straight to my happy place. The aesthetics are gorgeous, from the colors to the stunning designs and art, to the little nuances of design that make the game feel organic. It's beautiful to the eye and wonderfully tactile. I found the game super-easy to learn, yet challenging enough to dish up a new puzzle for me solve every time I play. Playing with a partner (or more) adds the opportunity for extra strategizing. Everybody can enjoy it, whether kids or adults, neurodivergents wanting some gentle stim downtime, or elders who would normally just do crossword puzzles. It's a great game.

I got this game based on all the great reviews and the initial synopsis I read about it. It’s so much more than I expected. It’s definitely in my top 3 board games. It can get a bit competitive but not so much that it makes it not fun. There is luck and strategy involved and I think that’s what makes it so entertaining and engaging even for adults. My 6 year old is even grasping the mechanics of this game and starting to play with us. So if you have a little that picks up on games easily this could be THE family game for you! It is for us and we’re have a range of kids from 6-13 atm.It does take a bit to learn everything, but once you get the hang of it, it becomes so fun. The value is very fair. The game pieces are high quality and a lot of fun texture wise to use and place. There art is gorgeous! I love the whole feel and vibe of this game. Highly recommend!

Product came without a plastic shrink wrap but the box was sealed with two circle tape on two edges. Cards were still sealed. Everything seems to be complete. Game was easy to learn and fast paced for a solo game as well. Struggled a bit with scoring as it gets complicated with all the patterns and conditions. Card artwork is vivid and very pretty. Perfect for both cozy and competitive gamers.

This game is such a fun puzzle! I love the art, the wooden components, and the simple rules. The decisions are really juicy. It plays great as a solo game since there's not a lot of player interaction

Arrived in good condition. Loved the game! It is very soothing and entertaining. It has soon become one of our favourites.

Very well received.Great game.

Harmonies was just what I expected, and some more. It has a simple strategy to both learn and teach, but it does challenge your game plan. Players choose cards, each with patterns to recreate (the habitats of the animals) in their individual board. Points are given for both forming the habitat patterns and by creating certain sequences of the colored tiles. It truly is a beautiful game. The illustrations are engaging, the quality of the materials is fantastic (even the box!) and the replayability is great. I have tried it with two players and in the solo mode and I am more than satisfied with it, I highly, highly recommend it. No doubt that it will become a well-loved and played game in our household; out of the 50ish games we have, I can see myself gravitating towards it quite often. If you enjoy simple games like Azul but want an added challenge in terms of strategy, you might want to consider Harmonies. I gather that it shares a lot in commom with Cascadia, (althogh I have not personally played it!), so if that is your jam, you might enjoy this one as well!

rapidité de livraison, emballage impeccable. Que de la satisfaction.

Sehr lässiges Brettspiel, sowohl mit den Kindern (7&9), als auch nur Erwachsene. Die Regeln sind nicht zu kompliziert, so dass auch eher unerfahrene Spielende mitmachen können.
