The Op Games launches HUTAN

The Op Games has launched HUTAN, a new family board game that sees players compete to build the most thriving habitat.

Played over nine rounds, players strategically select flower cards from a shared market and place them into their rainforest. Matching flowers allows trees to grow, and when a forest area is fully developed, an animal arrives to claim its habitat. The player who has cultivated the richest rainforest and attracted the most animals wins.

“HUTAN is a celebration of nature’s beauty and the delicate balance of our rainforests,” said HUTAN Game Designer Daniel Skjold Pedersen.

“We’re excited to offer players a game that is not only fun and strategic but also highlights the importance of preserving these incredible ecosystems and the wildlife that call them home.”

HUTAN artist Vince Dutrait added: “Through the art, I wanted to capture the rich textures, vibrant colours, and diverse wildlife that make these ecosystems so special. Every element from the trees, flowers, and animals were illustrated to evolve a sense of wonder and connection to nature.”
