Earth Express

Description

Curate a biodiverse tableau in just 15 minutes. From mosses that cling to the forest floor, to towering canopies that sustain fauna in the rainforest, our planet is full of natural wonders that have evolved over millennia. In Earth Express, you’ll cultivate your own vibrant ecosystem in minutes. Draft cards to build a 3x3 tableau of Flora and Terrain, creating a self-sustaining habitat by triggering the coloured abilities in your tableau. Generate Sprouts, stack Growth, and curate your hand by spending Seeds to create the perfect habitat for fauna; each with a unique scoring objective. Engaging, strategic, and easy-to-learn, Earth: Express is a standalone game for 1-8 players. Simultaneous Play Players resolve their turns at the same time, watching their tableau grow over the course of 5 rounds. Personal & Shared Goals Fauna objectives reward you for building habitats to accommodate animals such as hummingbirds, leopards, and echidnas. Optional Ecosystem objectives have scaling rewards according to how well you’ve met their conditions. Positive Player Interaction Certain cards grant benefits for the cards in your neighbours’ tableau, while others generate extra resources for other players when their abilities are triggered. —description from the publisher
