Animal Advisors

Become a Gamer ($5) or higher on our Patreon before April 29th, 2025 to get this game for free, plus all of the games and zines we've released over the last month! You can even get it all FREE with a one-week trial of our Gamer tier!

Each day (or as often as you'd like) you'll take note of the first animal you see (that you haven't previously added to your collection) and draw them on a card. You'll write down the lesson the animal is trying to impart and try to incorporate it into your day. Perhaps the animal was being brave, patient, or kind and you feel that you could use a bit of work on that. 

As you go about your life, you'll write 5 instances in which you took action to apply that to your life on the back of the card and check off the boxes in the actions taken section. When you've completed the card, you've proven yourself worthy of the animal's time, and they become part of your collection of animal advisors!

You can check out an example card (front and back) in the images on the right :D These examples, along with the rules card, all tri-fold together like a little pamphlet and easily store with your individual animal cards.

And pssst: if you want to mix up the animals you'll learn lessons from, check out the  Random Animal Generator!
