Visits from Crazy Redd allow players to purchase single-use cards or visits from Katrina can earn players week-long Tarot cards that can reward or reduce Bells or Happy Points if players roll the number on the card. In proper Animal Crossing fashion, each week will have random visits from different characters in game. Despite what you think you know, money can buy you happiness in Amiibo Festival as at the end of the game, every 1,000 Bells get converted into one Happy Point. As players traverse the board, they’ll land on tiles that can reward or reduce Happy Points, Bells ( Animal Crossing’s form of currency), or both through little stories. The goal is to earn the most Happy Points by the end of the month.
Players play through one calendar month, each round of turns equaling one day. Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival is definitely that.Īnimal Crossing: Amiibo Festival takes the form of a board game, and right away I WILL NOT waste my time drawing comparisons to Mario Party because Amiibo Festival ISN’T Mario Party nor does it HAVE to be. In terms of gameplay, there’s not much room for expansion, and it makes me happy to see the franchise branching out into new and interesting territories. When asked why I like it so much, I can never seem to answer beyond “I don’t know.” It may be its simplistic design, gameplay that’s not demanding, or the aesthetic that’s cute and mellow. I’ve always had a hard time selling Animal Crossing, as a game, to people.
