Citizens of the Spark is set on the planet Fera, where animal beings gained intelligence after a mysterious cosmic signal—the Spark—and went on to build an advanced, almost science‑fiction society. Players lead their own cities and strive to attract the smartest and most powerful animal citizens, as a prophecy foretells that only one city will ultimately survive. The theme innovatively blends science fiction with anthropomorphic animals and is supported by expressive, vibrant illustrations.

The game is based on card collection, personal tableau building, and combo creation (engine building). At the start of each game, players select 7–10 types of citizens from a pool of 30 different animal species, ensuring a highly variable setup. On their turn, a player attracts a group of citizens to their city and may then activate one type of citizen—the more citizens of the same type a player has, the stronger the effect. A particularly interactive feature is the “follow” mechanic, which allows opponents to trigger the same action when a citizen is activated, provided they have the corresponding card. The goal is to collect the most Sparks, which represent victory points.

Citizens of the Spark is a clever, highly interactive, and visually enchanting board game that will delight anyone who enjoys deep combo play and a futuristic world of intelligent beings. ✨🧠🐾
