Pantanal 2024

"The Pantanal is the largest floodplain biome on the planet, located in three countries in South America: Paraguay, Bolivia and, for the most part, Brazil.

Every year, starting in November, rainfall largely increases and raises the level of the rivers, flooding the plains. In flooded areas, a large amount of fish is retained in lagoons and bays, attracting many birds in search of food. In May, the rains stop and the waters begin to slowly recede. This annual cycle of floods renews fauna and flora, maintaining the ecological balance of the biome.

In Pantanal, players add a Landscape Tile to the group of tiles in the center of the table, forming a landscape of fields, lakes and rivers throughout the game.

The tile placement is very important, as each player has a Character Card to score at the end of the game according to the distribution of that character in the tiles landscape. Each player keeps his identity a secret, being able, at any time during the game, to make guesses about other players' characters. Correct guesses score Victory Points at the end of the game.

When placing a tile, the player can also receive Guaviras tokens, which can be used to buy tiles or Biome Cards, with objectives that score extra points at the end of the game. The player with the most points is the winner.
