Rules Summary
Draft and place terrain tiles onto your 3D planet, build the right habitat patterns, and claim animals and objectives for points. The best-designed planet wins.
How to Play
Objective Create the most successful planet by arranging terrain to form large connected habitats and by attracting animals whose habitat requirements match your planet. Setup Give each player a blank magnetic planet core. Prepare the terrain tiles by shuffling them into facedown stacks or rounds according to player count. Set out the animal cards and objective cards, including habitat and continent scoring goals, as appropriate for the game. Turn Structure Reveal the available terrain tiles for the round. Each player chooses or drafts one terrain tile. Players simultaneously place their chosen tile onto one face of their magnetic planet. At scoring moments or after enough terrain has been added, check which players qualify for available animal cards based on habitat requirements. Award animals and any relevant objective points, then continue to the next round. End of Game After all terrain tiles have been placed and final animal and objective scoring is completed, players total their points from animals and objectives. The player with the highest score wins. Notes The core gameplay centers on spatial planning across a 3D surface. Animal cards generally reward players who create specific combinations or sizes of terrain regions, so timing and tile placement both matter.
