Ecosystem: Savanna is the third installment in the stunning Ecosystem series of card - drafting family games. Similar to Ecosystem and Ecosystem: Coral Reef, it enables players to craft harmonious ecosystems by arranging a 20 - card grid featuring various animals and landforms. Set in the Serengeti, this game sees predators and scavengers competing for vital watering holes and scarce food sources. While some mechanics and card types will be recognizable to fans of previous Ecosystem games, new interactions bring a fresh feel and new challenges for building a balanced ecosystem. In this Serengeti - inspired card - drafting game, players select, pass, and arrange cards depicting a variety of African grassland organisms such as zebras, elephants, cheetahs, and lions. Score points by matching herbivores with suitable landforms like watering holes or positioning carnivores to hunt nearby prey. Diversify your food web for maximum bonuses. Every playthrough allows you to build a unique ecosystem as you strive to balance the relationships between all living things.
How to play: First, start the card - drafting process. Each player takes turns choosing, passing, and arranging cards that represent different African grassland organisms. Try to align herbivores with habitable landforms like watering holes and place carnivores to hunt prey to earn points. Remember to diversify your food web to get the most bonuses. Notice that some card interactions are new, so take time to understand them. When arranging the 20 - card grid, think carefully about building a balanced ecosystem. Maintenance tips: Keep the cards in a dry and cool place to prevent them from getting damaged. After each play, make sure to shuffle the cards well and store them neatly in the box. Also, be gentle when handling the cards to avoid any tearing or bending.
