Description
This fast-paced card game takes only about 15 minutes to play, and familiarizes players with food chains in four different ecosystems: Pacific Ocean, American Prairie, Amazon Rainforest and Sahara Desert. The cards represent plants, omnivores, herbivores and carnivores from each of those biomes, numbered 1-5. Each player can stack cards in order to develop a food chain in any two biomes at a time, but action cards like "Migration," "Invasion" or "Scavenge" can disrupt play! After players have at least three cards in their biome stacks, they can "bank them" or set them aside for points. Play continues until cards are exhausted, and the winner is the players with the most points. For 2-4 players.
