About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for an evolutionary journey in "Inhabit the Earth"! This creature race game lets you build your own private menagerie, managing a roster of up to six unique species. Each creature is represented by a deck of cards, which you'll use to introduce them to the world, make them multiply, evolve, and adapt to different continents and terrains. There are 162 unique cards, each detailing the creature's class, its habitat, and special abilities that can secure precious points at the end.
The modular board, made up of six continents, is where the action unfolds. You'll move counters representing your creatures along trails, migrating between boards to expand your territory and secure more breeding opportunities. Breeding, by the way, is key to generating new cards and keeping your menagerie growing! By moving your creatures, you not only facilitate new offspring but can also collect tokens that add icons and points to your score. In the end, victory goes to the player who accumulates the most points, derived from the cards, the strategic positions of your beasts on the map, and the collected tokens. Oh, and for those who want a lighter start, there's an introductory mode for up to three players. It's a race for animal supremacy!
