About the game

What you do in a play session

In Costa Rica, you and your friends are explorers searching for exotic animals in the jungle. The goal? Rescue these rare creatures from poachers. But beware: besides the terrain challenges, mosquitoes are everywhere, ready to disrupt your expedition. Each player decides whether to keep exploring to collect more animals or leave the expedition with what they’ve already found. Collecting many animals of the same type can score points, but having one of each species also has its benefits. The 'Push Your Luck' mechanic is the heart of the game: will you risk it for more or secure what you already have? With maps that change as exploration progresses, Costa Rica is a fast-paced adventure full of strategic decisions.
