Read the full game description
Create a living landscape inspired by Dartmoor’s woods, rivers, hedges, and open moor. Draw two cards or pay cards from hand to play trees, shrubs, and terrain, then tuck split animal and plant cards around those habitats so their abilities and scoring conditions reinforce one another. Terrain cards introduce horizontal spaces with their own ecological roles, while drafted caves give every player an asymmetric starting direction. When the deck nears its end, the most coherent and valuable ecosystem wins.
