I assume we've got some board games enthusiasts here, so I thought you guys might help me.

I've been playing Ghost of Tale recently (probably one of the best games I ever played in my life, by the way), and it reminded me of a very fun board game I played with my friends soem years ago, called Mice and Mystics. Are there more board games with a similiar theme of "high fantasy with antropomorhic animals"? Basically like the Redwall novels? It doesn't have to play like Mice and Mystics, which is basically a dungeoncrawler co-op game, those are easy enough to find.

https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/233312/stuffed-fables (well, stuffed animals)

https://boardgamegeek.com/image/3292014/masmorra-dungeons-arcadia (more Manga than anthropomorphic)

https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/102898/sewer-pirats (rats and toads)

https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/136991/loony-quest (no figures and no high fantasy - but funny nonetheless)

Thanks! Those two defnately look best, and closest to what I had in mind. Especially Sewer Pirates, though Stuffed Fables seems to have better reviews. I'll have to read up on both.

If it doesn't have to be a physical board you might want to have a look at Armello. It's only at Steam though since the game got kicked off GOG after being abandoned. But that game should be exactly what you want according to your description.

Yep, I know of it (and remember the GOG version controversy well), but being only available on Steam it's of less use to me than ten thousand spoons when all I need is a knife.

I almost forgot about this little precious: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/158900/samurai-spirit

Again - no figures, but very nice playing material and the possibility to morph your character into a fighting animal.

Oh and it's co-op.

The samurai theme is actually a turn-off for me, but the lack of miniatures probably makes the price much more reasonable. I found a game that is pretty much exactly what I'm looking for, Tail Feathers, but it's as expensive as it is pretty.

That's one helluva great game, isn't it? I really hope they're able to do a sequel for it.

It really is. It's a wonder of immersion and worldbuilding, and almost painfully gorgeous too. It's a rare thing that I actually enjoy fetch quests because they give me an excuse to just wonder around the locations. The only thing I could possibly imagine making it better would be if it was fully voiced (I especially wish I could actually hear the songs, since they are such an important part of the game).

Yep, I completely agree.

I love anthropomorphic animals from an early age I was playing such games with my grandfather. Cant wait for the next edition. Mice are my favourites.

Hy! Everyone Can Anyone Help me I am in some Problem Since I believe there are some board game fans here, I was hoping you guys could assist me.

Recently, I've been playing Ghost of Tale, which is possibly one of the best games online ludo 10 (https://ludoapks.com/) ever played. It made me think of Mice and Mystics, a very enjoyable board game I used to play with friends. Do any board games share the same "high fantasy with antropomorhic animals" theme? enjoy the Redwall books in general? It doesn't have to function like Mice and Mystics, a dungeon crawler co-op game that is essentially available.
Please Kindly Guide me!

Hmm. All of the board games I enjoy are abstract strategy games, which means they don't have stories, characters, or themes (such as fantasy, sci-fi, etc).

But, if anyone is interested, here are my top 3 abstract strategy games:

Kogworks (also called Mecanix depending on where it was sold)
Pentago
Tayu

I'm about to start a game of tabletop Fallout as my birthday party.
