Create habitats

As a farmer you need to husband your land economically and ecologically; Aim of the game is to enhance the variety of species in the neighborhood of your farm.

The game features landscape tiles with four kinds of fruit trees, four different mixtures of seeds as well as bushes, water areas, stone cairns and fields. The animals are sorted into the categories of arachnids, birds, invertebrates, mammals, reptiles, amphibians and insects. In a procedure of choosing and handing on tiles you end up with three landscape tiles per round which you can place on your field; you can build over tiles already there, you can let halves stick out over the acre borders and you can also place a tile into storage or discard it. After placement you observe animals: You check animal cards from the display if there is a habitat on your acre; if yes you mark the animal and set it aside. The habitat must be present exactly as pictured on the card and should also hold the necessary food in the shape of the card of the food animal; this is not mandatory, but if more than one player claims an animal it goes to the one who can provide the necessary food. After six rounds there is a final check for habitats and now mandatory food animals for all animals you claimed; if necessary you adjust your score and hand back an animal. In the expert game you should incorporate ecological adjustment areas into your acre according to order cards.

A fascinatingly simple and informative game in which you can learn a lot, especially in the expert game; very often you must weigh merits of different orders as rarely can comply with all ecological demands.
