Collect!

Eight Animals, One Crown, Zero Downtime

The king is gone, the jungle is in an uproar, and every animal with ambition is making a move. In Collect!, the tension lives in the cards you pick — and the ones you don't. Do you grab the Chameleon and copy your opponent's best play, or hold out for the Crocodile that could flip the table entirely? Every round is a small puzzle with a satisfying snap when it comes together.

A Compact Card Game from CMON

CMON brings their knack for sharp production and tight design to this small-box format. Collect! is a fast, competitive card game where players build alliances with animals — selecting cards round by round to play in front of them. Each of the eight animal types carries its own special ability, opening up combos and counter-plays that make the game feel different every time. The goal is straightforward: be the first player to collect four matching animals and claim the crown. Getting there is anything but simple. Bluffing, timing, and reading your opponents all matter in a game that fits in your pocket but punches above its size.

Who Should Be Playing This

Collect! is designed for two to five players, ages eight and up, and plays in around fifteen minutes — making it a strong pick for families looking for something quick before dinner, groups who want a warm-up game before a longer session, or anyone who needs a game that travels well. The rules land in minutes, but the tactical back-and-forth gives experienced players something to dig into. It sits comfortably in the light category: easy enough for a new player, engaging enough to stay in the rotation.

What's Worth Calling Out

The eight animal types — including Monkeys, Crabs, Crocodiles, and Chameleons — each bring distinct abilities that interact in ways that reward experimentation. No two games play out the same, and the compact 64-card deck means setup is genuinely fast. The small-box format makes this one of those games that lives in a bag or a glove compartment, ready whenever there's a spare fifteen minutes and a flat surface.
