Earth
Earth, the soil that supports and sustains our beautiful planet. Over thousands of years of evolution and adaptation the flora and fauna of this unique planet have grown and developed into amazing life forms, creating symbiotic ecosystems and habitats.
It’s time to jump into these rich environments and create some amazing natural synergies that replicate and extrapolate on Earth’s amazing versatility and plethora of natural resources. Create a self-supporting engine of growth, expansion and supply where even your unused plants become compost for future growth.
Gameplay
Earth is an open world engine builder for 1 to 5 players with simple rules but tons of strategic possibilities. With its encyclopedic nature and the enormous number of unique cards and combinations, every single game will allow you to discover new synergies and connections, just as our vast and fascinating world allows us to do!
You are going to build your own tableau, a four by four grid of cards that is called your ‘island’. On your turn you’re going to choose one of four actions. The other players perform a weaker version of the same action. After resolving the action all players activate any abilities on cards in their tableau or on their player board. You can only activate cards that match the colour of the chosen action. When you activate cards in your tableau it must be done from top left to bottom right. So it does matter where you play your cards, adding to the puzzly nature of the game.
Summarised
A lot of people compare this game to either Wingspan or Ark Nova. The game is also reminiscent of Terraforming Mars. Is all the buzz and hype around this game justified? You can check that for yourself here or here. Earth is certainly a games that a lot of people are excited about, one of the bigger pros being the simultaneous gameplay.
