The essence of the game:
In the board game Ecos, there are no usual turns. Instead, one player will draw element tokens, one at a time, from a bag for elements. Each such element can give some or all players energy depending on what effect they are trying to activate. When there is enough energy on the player's board to activate, that player gets the opportunity to use the effect, which usually leads to the addition of terrain or wildlife elements to the game board. The game ends at the end of the round in which at least 1 player has 80 victory points. The player with the most points wins.
