Catastrophic társasjáték

Angol leírás

Catastrophic is a game of community, conservation and catastrophe. Cultivate and support the development of the most robust community of plants and animals, weaken those of your opponents, and adapt to survive the events the planet and your opponents continually throw at you.

The game is designed to help players make connections across large spatial and temporal scales in biology. Plant and Animal Trait cards (e.g. thick waxy cuticles and evaporative heat loss) help Species to withstand environmental Conditions that they must face in an onslaught of Events such as global warming, drought and habitat fragmentation. Interaction cards help players to support their community of Species through reproduction (by using the pollination card, or perhaps cross-breeding), protection (e.g. with the Doomsday Vault), collaboration (e.g. reciprocal altruism and obligate mutualism) or stab other players in the back with cheating, brood parasitism, predator ecesis and more.

Version 2.0 is a reimagined and redeveloped version of the original Catastrophic, building in content from the expansions into a unique standalone game. Individual species of plants and animals use the new population tokens to track their growth and extinction. Event and interaction cards have been streamlined and balanced, and new mechanics give players more control over their strategies to build different kinds of ecosystems. The game also features brand new custom artwork throughout all the cards and rules.
