Earth

The game begins before the starting hand has even been drafted. Players will receive an Island, Climate, and Ecosystem card during set-up. Using these double-sided cards, each player sows their strategy by selecting one side of the card to place face-up in their play area.

The combination of these three cards introduces asymmetry to the game by providing variable starting resources, bonus abilities, and unique end-game scoring objectives.

ON YOUR TURN

On their turn, the active player will choose one of four different actions, reaping their major benefits, while all other players welcome the minor benefit.

Subsequently, all players activate any cards on their player-board, and in their tableau, which match the color of the chosen action.

Players continue taking actions, arranging their Island, sowing Plants and developing Terrains to attract elusive Fauna, and unlock the scoring bonuses of diverse Ecosystems.

TRIGGERING END GAME

Once a player has added a sixteenth card to their 4×4 tableau, they earn a completion bonus and trigger the end of the game.

All players will tally the victory points they earned from completing Ecosystems, reaching Fauna objectives, Composting cards, gaining Plant cubes and Growth pieces, for their Plant and Terrain values and for Events played. The player with the most victory points wins!
