About the game

What you do in a play session

If you are a fan of Earth and want to add some extra variety to your ecosystem, this promo pack is a treat worth checking out. Originally released as part of the 'Cleric Pack' from the 2023 Dice Tower Kickstarter campaign, this set includes two fauna cards that bring a little extra flavor to your games. We have the River Otter (Lontra canadensis), which requires at least 3 bushes and a wet habitat to shine on your board. Meanwhile, the Turtles (Testudines) card calls for 3 herbs and a sunny habitat to get into the action. Like all good Earth content, these cards integrate perfectly into the engine-building mechanics and habitat synergies we already know and love. They don't drastically change the game's complexity, but they do offer new strategic options for those who enjoy optimizing their island and chasing specific scoring goals. It is the kind of item that, while small, adds extra charm to the table and is a great find for completionists. If you already own the base game and want to refresh your deck, these cards are welcome additions that fit easily into any scoring strategy you might be building. It is guaranteed fun for anyone who doesn't want to miss an extra detail in their private ecosystem!
