Gameplay
Board Game
Between one and four players can play the Board Game mode, where participants compete to earn the most Happy Points. Prior to beginning a game, each player must tap in an amiibo on the GamePad, in order to select the character they will play as. Players that do not tap in will use a Villager as their avatar. After choosing characters, the players select a month to play, which determines the events that can occur during the game (such as Bunny Day and the Fishing Tourney.)
A player's turn begins with a die roll to determine how many spaces they will advance. After moving forward, an event will occur, causing the player to gain or lose Happy Points or Bells; collecting 1,000 Bells earns a player an additional Happy Point. When the game ends, the player with the most Happy Points is declared the winner.
Certain characters from the Animal Crossing series such as Katie and Joan will make regular appearances on the board and interact with the participants of the game.
Minigames
In addition to the primary Board Game mode, Template:ACAF includes a collection of minigames, which are unlocked as the player accumulates Happy Tickets. All of the minigames require the use of amiibo cards. There are eight minigames in total:[6]

- Fruit Path (two to four players, 1+ amiibo card(s)) Try to get as much fruit as you can, but try to avoid falling into a pit.
- amiibo Card Battle (two to four players, six amiibo cards) Tap one of six amiibo cards, and try to get the highest dice number, but if the card you tapped has a starsign that matches the one displayed on the crystal ball, then the reverse happens.
