Gameplay
editUp to four players compete as anthropomorphic animals in a variety of mini-games while vying for the role of "President of the Animal Kingdom".[1] By competing in mini-game tournaments named Primaries, the players will collect clams that make the characters stronger, and complete different objectives at the same time.[2] The one who gets the most votes will win the election.[3] Clams are designed to be used in several ways as an all-around currency, whether by shooting them, giving out as donations or exchanging for other things like election signs or money.[3]
