Description
Players compete to create the most balanced and diverse ecosystem in this beautifully illustrated card drafting game. Each player chooses a card from their hand to add to their ecosystem, such as a dragonfly to enjoy their streams or a wolf to add to the pack. Then players pass their hands and each choses another card from their new hand. Points are scored by placing animals in their ideal environments, creating streams and meadows, and achieving diversity within the ecosystem. Includes 130 cards, 6 player aids, scorepad, and instructions. 15-20 min playing time. For 2-6 players. ~Rachel E.
