What it's for

How about a little game between friends? Not only will you need the right strategy, you'll also have to start thinking in black-and-white.

Animal chess is another 5x5 decoration bought for friendship cents, 2800 to be exact. It brings 75 happiness points, which is 3 points per tile, with no village bonus.

What to do with it

Just like the friendship symbol, it pays off for players who have friendship cents saved up thanks to invited friends. Build it next to other big decorations on a farm where you're handling happiness on a larger scale.

Tip from a veteran playerI recommend getting it before the friendship symbol, because at 2800 friendship cents it's cheaper.
