Players build habitats like streams, forests, and meadows and introduce wildlife such as bears, foxes, and rabbits. Biodiversity is rewarded, while monocultures are penalized, inviting players to balance living connections for thoughtful scoring. With 2–6 players and a 15–20 minute playtime, it fits classroom activities, family game nights, or a quick break between learning sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe game uses eleven distinct card types, guiding players through a carefully crafted system where habitats and species must cooperate to thrive.
