Jano - A Pawsome Adventure

Jano is a heartwarming, nature-themed board game where players join a curious Hungarian Vizsla on an enchanting journey through farms, forests, and lakesides. By collecting resources, forming friendships with animals, gathering flowers, and completing secret missions, players earn victory points and create their own unique adventure. The player who embraces nature and friendship most skillfully becomes the happiest explorer of all!

In the game, players take on the role of Jano the dog. Depending on the number of players, the adventure lasts between five and seven in-game years. Each year, in every season (spring, summer, autumn, and winter), players choose whether to visit the farm, the forest, or the lakeside. These choices matter, because each year offers different natural treasures to collect—such as eggs, mushrooms, and shells—as well as chances to pick flowers or encounter animals.

Animals play a key role: with the right natural treasures, players can befriend the animals they meet. The most skillful adventurer is the one who manages to make the most friends.

The game includes a few fun twists in its mechanics, and each player also has the opportunity to earn extra points through a secret mission. Overall, it’s an easy-to-learn, entry-level game where the outcome depends far more on the players’ decisions than on luck.
