Over thousands of years, its flora and fauna have formed amazing symbiotic ecosystems. In this open - world engine - building game, players start by getting an Island, Climate, and Ecosystem card. These cards offer variable starting resources, bonus abilities, and unique end - game scoring objectives. On your turn, choose one of four actions, with major benefits for you and minor ones for others. Then activate matching cards. Players keep taking actions, arranging their Island, sowing Plants, and developing Terrains to attract Fauna and unlock ecosystem bonuses. The game ends when a player adds a sixteenth card to their 4x4 tableau. All players then tally victory points, and the one with the most wins. Earth is a game for 1 to 5 players with simple rules but endless strategic possibilities. Each game lets you discover new synergies, just like exploring our vast world. We're happy to back campaigns to bring you this game. A portion of your purchase will support new Kickstarter games. If you have questions, contact us at The Game Steward.
To start playing the Earth board game, first, during setup, each player gets an Island, Climate, and Ecosystem card. Select one side of each card and place it face - up in your play area. These cards will give you starting resources, bonus abilities, and end - game scoring goals. When it's your turn, pick one of the four available actions. You'll get major benefits, and other players will get minor ones. After that, activate any cards on your player - board and tableau that match the color of the chosen action. Keep taking actions to arrange your Island, plant plants, and develop terrains to attract fauna. The game ends when a player adds a sixteenth card to their 4x4 tableau. Then, calculate your victory points from completed ecosystems, reached fauna objectives, composted cards, and more. The player with the most points wins. Remember, paid add - ons from the Kickstarter Campaign are not included unless stated otherwise. Keep your wooden tokens and cards in a dry place to avoid damage. If the cards get dirty, you can gently wipe them with a soft cloth. Have fun exploring the amazing world of Earth!
