Ecosystem - Savanna

Players select, pass and lay out cards representing a variety of organisms found in an African grassland, including zebras, elephants, cheetahs and lions. Gain points by lining up herbivores on habitable landforms such as waterholes, or placing carnivores to devour nearby prey. Diversify your food web to maximize your bonuses. Each time you play, you build a unique ecosystem as you strive to balance the delicate links between all living beings.

Players take turns drawing organism cards and arranging them in a 4 x 5 "ecosystem" in front of them. Once all players have completed their personal grid of 20 cards, players rate their ecosystems using the rules for each card type. Scoring rewards players who build coherent food webs and explore the diversity of the savannah ecosystem. The player with the most points wins!

Includes rules for solo play.
