Llamaland is a multi-layer tile-laying game where you build a 3D landscape to make a home for your llamas! Each turn you will place a pentomino tile and then gain actions from all the icons that you cover up. Cover corn, cacao, and potato fields to collect crop tokens to feed your lamas. Cover huts to gain special abilities from the characters who live there. You'll also need to carefully choose which of the special objectives to go after to score extra points.
I see Llamaland as the third game in the Bärenpark / Gingerbread House trilogy. It uses the polyomino-puzzling from Bärenpark and the 3D tile-laying from Gingerbread House - something I really wanted to explore more. The result is a slightly more complex game with some extra resource management and engine building to think about. It also has a really cool table presence. Lookout did a wonderful job on the pieces, especially the adorable wooden llamas!
