Herausforderung Natur

Das Spiel

You want to win duels with your animals, to be first to have two victory points on each of the five continents. Duels are fought with value comparison in analogy to Top Trumps. Each player has a Continents board and six cards, the Speed board sits in the middle.

A round has five phases: 1. Speed - the starting player for the first duel is determined, you begin if you are first to hit the area on the central board, determined by the Continent die. 2. Card selection - each player selects a card from hand. 3. Surprise die - either nothing happens, you hand on your selected card, you can earn 2 instead of 1 victory point, the lowest value will win or the rule “protected species” will not apply. 4. Combat - Selecting and naming of an animal characteristic, the highest value for it on the selected cards wins the duel. If you have a card that shows marking for protected species, you can try to promote another characteristic, the color order is red-orange-yellow-green for extinction threatens - very endangered - endangered - not endangered. 5. Assign victory points - the winner puts a point on the continent determined at the start by the continent die; you get 2 victory points if the winning animals comes from this continent.

The game is based on the Top Trumps mechanism and is a sequel to the “small” card games of the series on topics like Savannah, Predators, Birds, etc. and those games can be combined with it. The components are very environmentally friendly, so I was a bit surprised about the aggressive wording in the rules - “ferocious combat, challenge ...”, but this does not change the fact that this is a very good game.
