About the game
What you do in a play session
The heart of the game beats in a worker placement system with a twist: the board is a hexagonal puzzle. By positioning your workers, you don't just occupy a space; you interact with surrounding icons, triggering special effects and gathering essential resources. And don't think your workers are all the same; they possess their own unique abilities that can be unlocked and upgraded throughout the match, making them increasingly efficient as you progress.
As the game unfolds, the map evolves with the arrival of new powerful special effects, paving the way for devastating combos that can flip the game. With over 100 different creature cards and stunning illustrations by artist Sophia Kang, the experience is as much visual as it is strategic. You'll need to balance resource gathering, worker development, and a race to complete achievements before your opponents. In the end, the player who manages to accumulate the most Victory Points will be crowned the greatest conservator of wondrous creatures. It's an engine-building game with a tactical positioning layer that keeps everyone engaged until the very last turn.
