Board game Ecosystem

The collection of living organisms, their habitats and their close interconnection is called an ecosystem. And “Ecosystem” is a close relationship of cards on your table, which, if combined correctly, will bring you a lot of victory points! This is a card game with a draft mechanic in which you have to create your own ecosystem, as the name suggests.

The rules of this game are quite simple, they are explained in about 5 minutes, and are remembered after the first game: each player receives 10 cards, selects one card from the received hand and places it face down in front of him.

As soon as all players decide on a card, they open them and lay them out in front of them - in their ecosystem: it represents a field in front of the player measuring 5 by 4 cards. Players then pass cards clockwise.

When the cards in your hand run out, 10 more cards are dealt and the game continues, but with one difference: now the cards are passed to the player counter-clockwise. When these 10 cards run out, the stage of accrual and scoring begins.

Everything here is exactly the same as in a real ecosystem: bees prefer flowers, foxes hide from wolves, and they, in turn, prefer to gather in packs. The same card will earn you a different number of points depending on where you place it.

Pleasant, colorful illustrations of wildlife and simple game rules make Ecosystem a good family game that will attract the attention of players of all ages.
