Welcome to Oddland… where every creature is stranger than the last.
An unknown island, unlikely animals, and a scientific mission bordering on the surreal: documenting the strangest ecosystem ever discovered . In Oddland, you are a solo explorer (or a team) ready to map, place, and fit flora and fauna on an island that changes before your eyes.
This abstract board game for 1-5 players challenges you to place overlapping terrain tiles, create optimal patterns, and deploy unique creatures that react differently to the surrounding landscape. A coast horse prefers cliffs. A flying cactus loves isolation. It's up to you to understand, adapt, and score points in the most… bizarre ways possible.
Why Oddland is an island worth the trip
- 🗺️ Creative tile placement : You can cover already played tiles to shape the map
- 🧠 Abstract puzzle with environmental soul : each animal has a unique scoring logic
- 🧍♂️ Perfect for solo use : a true meditative experience for those who love to think in silence
- 👪 But also with friends or family : you can play up to 5 people, without conflict and with a pure brain challenge
- 🎨 Deliciously bizarre aesthetic : Cam Kendell designs a world that seems to have come out of a crazy dream
If you're looking for a solitaire or family board game with a strong exploration component and visual puzzles , Oddland is a small world you'll love discovering one turn at a time . No creature is normal. No game will be the same.
The island is watching you. It's up to you to figure out how to tell its story... one bizarre animal at a time.

🐸 HOW TO PLAY
1. Collect music events during your road trip
Players play a band of rock cats on their way to their big concert. Each turn, they choose an event from the deck (activities, unforeseen events, mini-games), resolving scenes at the table before continuing towards the finish line.
2. Play “momentum” tiles to activate combos and get bonuses
Some events allow you to collect momentum tiles: they activate in a chain whenever you resolve related events, granting extra points or special powers. Accumulating momentum is the key to stellar performances.
3. Solve quick and easy mini-games with a cat theme!
The events include mini-games (challenges, balance tests, memory tests, etc.), often with a humorous feline twist. You solve them quickly: the tension is fun, never overwhelming.
4. Build your audience with fan cards
Some events allow you to earn fan cards that represent your following. The more fans you have, the more points you'll earn at the end. You need to balance pace, momentum, and the appeal of the concert.
5. Whoever arrives at the big concert with the most points and accumulated momentum wins.
The game ends with the final concert. Points are calculated based on resolved events, momentum combos, and fans gathered. The group of cats that performed best… wins the Big Gig !

Oddland
In Oddland nature doesn't follow the rules, it creates them.
An exploratory, abstract and poetic board game, between mutant flora and fantastic creatures.
Oddland – The strange island where nature works magic
In the middle of the ocean lies an island uncharted by any map, yet teeming with bizarre and fascinating life. Welcome to Oddland , where every tile is a fragment of land to be discovered, and every animal or plant has its own logic... all its own.
You'll be a solo explorer or a team player, busy placing terrain cards and creatures in search of the best synergy to score points, in an abstract and light-hearted game that combines strategy, wonder, and relaxation.
Have you ever seen a pigehorse ? Or a plant that prefers to stay away from mountains ? No? It's time to fix that.
Oddland – Explore, adapt and place logically on an unusual island
Oddland is a board game for 1-5 players in which you explore a strange and ever-changing island, placing terrain cards in a layered and original puzzle. Each turn challenges you to cover, extend, or interlock the cards to create the ideal conditions for the survival of your flora and fauna.
The creatures you place have unique scoring rules , requiring you to read the landscape to maximize points. The approach is accessible, but with increasing tactical depth , making it perfect for both those seeking a relaxing experience and those who enjoy strategic combos.
Language-independent , with evocative illustrations and an almost poetic tone, Oddland is an ideal title for those who love solitaire games , but also for family groups looking for something different.
We played it, and it left us… in contemplation 🐸
Oddland is a little gem. It doesn't scream, it doesn't rush, it doesn't stress you out. It invites you to look, think, fit together, and discover , with a logic that slowly unfolds. The feeling of building a landscape and seeing your strange creatures take shape is truly satisfying .
Perfect for solo play (where you can ponder every move) but also for playing with friends, it's one of those games that relaxes you while challenging you . And the creatures? Delightful, absurd, irresistible.
