## Description
If you already enjoy the tension of saving global fauna in Endangered, get ready because the mission just got much more complex. New Species isn't just a 'small add-on', but a big-box expansion that drastically expands the possibilities of the base game. Here, the urgency ramps up with the introduction of 7 new endangered species and 6 fresh scenarios, each bringing specific challenges that will test your group's coordination.

The heart of the game remains that desperate race against time and environmental destruction. You'll need a lot of strategy to keep populations healthy while trying to convince the UN to act before it's too late. The dice-rolling dynamics and resource allocation gain new layers, forcing players to decide where to invest their efforts: do we save that critical species now or try to stabilize the region first?

It's the kind of experience that turns your table into an ecological command center, where communication is the most important tool. If you enjoy cooperative games with strategic weight (it's no walk in the park!) and themes that make you think about the real world, this expansion is essential. But heads up: as it is a supplement, you absolutely need the base game to play. Get your dice ready, align your strategies, and good luck, because nature doesn't wait for anyone!
