The Ugly Five 2026

Everyone knows the Big Five… but have you met their less glamourous cousins?

Each player has their own Ugly Five: a wildebeest, a hyena, a marabou, a vulture, and a warthog. They may not be graceful, nor photogenic. In fact, they may be downright ugly to look at. But they are your Ugly Five, and you are going to prove that they are the most beautiful creatures on earth. Help them find their inner beauty. Guide your Ugly Five through different landscapes, past mountains and savannas, through forests and deserts, to help them discover their beautiful selves. Let your sweet, ugly animals realize how beautiful their reflection can be, what an elegant mirror image they have. In short, make sure your Ugly Five find their perfect match. But beware: you might face some ugly competition. Play smart and you might be the winner in this wonderfully wonky game full of laughable ugliness, hidden beauty, and beastly elegance...
