Habitats

Step into the wild and immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of nature with Habitats!

This captivating board game invites you to craft a vibrant wildlife park, designed without barriers to allow diverse animals to thrive in their perfect environments. With an incredible selection of 68 unique animals, each boasting specific habitat needs, strategic planning is essential for success.

Will you create a sprawling grassland for the zebra or a rocky retreat for the bat? As you navigate this enchanting world, you'll encounter a variety of fascinating inhabitants—from the majestic hart and cunning crocodile to the slithering snake and playful baboon. Each creature brings its own delightful challenge, as you work to meet their diverse requirements.

Gameplay begins with your chosen entrance tile, represented by charming ceramic figures or wooden ranger meeples—depending on the edition. During your turn, select a tile from your surroundings, move your figure to this new position, and draw a fresh tile to enhance your park's landscape.

Incorporating animal tiles means also introducing their corresponding habitats. Cleverly combining these environments is crucial! For instance, placing a hippo tile near a water source will quench the nearby otter's thirst. However, as your park expands, the challenge of balancing all your animals' needs intensifies, adding a thrilling layer to the game.

Boost the appeal and profitability of your park by constructing additional entrance roads, trek spots, and watchtowers. Habitats unfolds over three exhilarating seasons, each introducing 6 to 9 new tiles to elevate your designs. Set seasonal goals for bonus points and remember that every tile you place affects your animals' satisfaction, ultimately influencing your score at the game's conclusion.

Can you achieve the highest score and claim your victory? Note: The BoardGameTables edition includes both the XL Expansion and Double Expansion, taking your gameplay experience to new heights!
