Capivaras
A simultaneous-bidding game about how many friends you can attract onto your capybara.
Everyone knows capybaras let absolutely anyone climb on — and that’s exactly what’s at stake in Capivaras. Each round a new friend shows up (a bird, a flower, an unexpected visitor), and every player bids at the same time to attract it onto their capybara.
Because the bidding is simultaneous, there’s no time to copy your neighbor: you have to decide what that spot is worth before you see what everyone else is willing to risk. Save too much and you end up with no friends; spend it all too early and you might be broke for the round that matters most.
Simple rules, fast decisions, and a table full of happy capybaras: 20 minutes that are perfect for the whole family, ages 8 to 108.
