Biome (Deluxe)

Build a thriving Biome in this highly thematic nature themed tableau builder for 1-4 players. Compete for biodiversity achievements and outmaneuver your opponents by activating the special abilities of your plants and animals. Each action can only be activated once, so think carefully about which actions you take and when. Combine strategic card placements and engine building in this nature themed tableau builder.

Rounds of the game move through the seasons, each season having its own thematic impact on the Biome. In the simultaneous gameplay phase, draw cards and collect resources to play a plant or animal into your Biome and earn points. Play your birds and rabbits next to plants, so that in Spring, they will make nests and have chicks and baby bunnies! But beware, in Summer, your opponents’ predators are on the prowl. Protect your baby animals by playing more plants in each habitat. Earn points with successful hunts and by feeding your baby animals.

Add the optional Natural Disasters mini expansion (spinner) to bring additional variability and nature’s harsh reality to your game of Biome.

With many ways to earn points (and win!) plus multiple difficulty levels, you can tailor your game to your adventure level. We want you to build the Biome of your dreams and have a blast doing so. While the standard mode offers generous resource collection and 2:1 cards/resources trading, if you want to sweat a little (or a lot), make resource collection more difficult by playing with the advanced mode. Trading becomes even more difficult in the expert mode with a 3:1 cards and resource trade. Changing achievements to compete for, standard and advanced variations, optional mini expansions - all designed for endless replayability.
