Habitats - Board Game - Tile Laying Board Game - 2-5 Players - 40 Minutes Play Time

Habitats is an exciting tile-laying board game where you take on the role of an enthusiastic new wildlife ranger. Drive your all - terrain vehicle around and carefully select the best animals for your wildlife preserve. It's not just about the animals; you also need to construct enough tourist destinations, campgrounds, and watchtowers to keep your preserve running smoothly. Majestic animals rely on you to create dedicated habitats for them to thrive. But it's not a simple task! Your goals change every year, and you must be quick to get the resources you need before other rangers grab them. This game offers a dual - strategy gameplay. There are multiple paths and strategies to victory. The game moves at a dual pace. It's fast in the sense that other players can snatch the tiles you want, but slow enough for you to analyze the market and your preserve's layout between public market moves. When strategizing, think about where you want your all - terrain vehicle to be 3 or 4 turns in advance. Sometimes a short sacrifice can lead to better tiles. Also, figure out how to use point multipliers from watchtowers and photo spots to extend your lead or recover from deficits. At the end of the game, you'll be treated to stunning wildlife tableaus, and the market adds an exciting element of interaction. With a playtime of 40 minutes, it's a perfect board game for families, friends, or kids, suitable for 2 to 5 players.

How to play Habitats: First, each player takes on the role of a wildlife ranger. You'll use the all - terrain vehicle token to move around the board. When it's your turn, you can pick a tile from the public market and place it in your wildlife preserve. Try to choose animals that will help you meet your goals and build the necessary tourist spots, campgrounds, and watchtowers. Pay attention to the changing goals each year. You need to plan ahead and think about where you want your vehicle to be in a few turns. Use the point multipliers from watchtowers and photo spots to your advantage. Note: Make sure to keep an eye on what other players are doing, as they might take the tiles you need. Also, be ready to adapt your strategy as the game progresses. Maintenance: Keep the game pieces in a safe place after each use. You can use a storage box to prevent the tiles and tokens from getting lost or damaged. If the pieces get dirty, you can gently wipe them with a soft cloth.
