Earth is a tableau-building game designed for 1 to 5 players, featuring straightforward rules and an abundance of strategic opportunities. With its expansive scope and virtually endless tableau combinations, every game session promises to unveil new synergies and connections, akin to the discoveries we make in our vast and captivating world. Players embark on creating a self-sustaining engine of growth, expansion, and provision by drafting from a deck comprising over 364 distinctive cards and strategically placing them within their tableau.
Even before drafting their starting hand, the game commences with players receiving an Island, Climate, and Ecosystem card during setup. Utilizing these double-sided cards, each player sets the groundwork for their strategy by choosing one side to display face-up in their play area. This combination of three cards injects asymmetry into the gameplay, offering variable starting resources, bonus abilities, and unique end-game scoring objectives for each player.
