Libellud | Harmonies | Family Board Game | Ages 10+ | 1-4 Players | 30 Minutes Playing Time

Harmonies is a beautifully designed tile-placement game that blends creativity with strategy. Players draft and place terrain tiles on their personal boards to create habitats and attract animals, scoring points based on how well they match their animal cards. It supports 1 to 4 players, with a satisfying solo mode and an “expert” mode that adds nature spirit cards for extra depth. The game plays in around 30–45 minutes, making it a great choice for a relaxed evening or a quick gaming session. The physical components are excellent. Terrain tokens are made of wood, animal cubes feel substantial, and the artwork by Maëva Da Silva gives the game a dreamy, peaceful vibe. The game strikes a good balance between ease of learning and meaningful decisions, newcomers can pick it up quickly, while more experienced players will appreciate the tactical options around tile placement and card selection. That said, the scoring mechanism can feel a little complex at first, and because space on the board is limited, you really need to plan ahead, which may lead to decision paralysis for some players. Also, in solo play the “market” of tiles and animal cards can stagnate, making the game feel a bit repetitive over time. But for the money it is a great investment. Overall, Harmonies is a lovely mix of calm theme and tactical depth. I recommend it for players who enjoy thoughtful, peaceful games where building your own little world matters almost as much as winning.

Harmonies is a great family game and perfect for screen-free time. Easy to learn, relaxing to play, and enjoyable for everyone.

Genuinely delighted with this game Very easy to learn and fun every time. I like the 2 ways to play adding another element to the game. As a 2 player game it can be as quick as 20 minutes. But we just had a very technical 3 player game that lasted an hour and a half.

Excellent quality and beautifully designed. A great strategy game!

Delivered on time, perfect condition. It’s a really relaxed and cosy game to play with family and friends. Plus the art is stunning too! A really great game to add to a collection.

This is a great game, which my wife and I enjoyed from the first time we played it. If you've played 7 Wonders, Harmonies is similar in that you don't really know who's going to win until the scores are calculated at the end of the game. There's less interaction between players than in 7 Wonders, because you're basically building your own mini-environment which is separate from those of the other players, and the other players will only influence your point-scoring possibilities depending on the landscape tokens and animal cards that they choose from those available (i.e. they might take some that you had your eye on!). After a couple of games, I'd say that building upwards with stacks of tokens is a better strategy than filling up your board quickly. What I liked best about the game was its easy playability, its relatively short duration and its appealing parts and artwork.

Excellent game

Easy to learn (for adults) and fun to play solo and with company.

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

Bought as a Christmas for the whole family, 3 kids, 12, 11 and 5 years old, we all love it. Quite a nice upgrade from Azul we bought last year!

Eins meiner Lieblingsspiele dieses Jahr. Einfach zu lernen (und zu erklären), knobelig genug zu spielen, dass es Spaß macht, und das Design ist wahnsinnig schön. Kann man auch sehr gut alleine spielen, wenn man niemanden überreden kann.

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!
