Terraformer

Construct ecosystems, animate planets In this card game your spacecraft, equipped with terraforming machinery, has entered orbit around a distant, lifeless planet. Before you can colonize, you must first make the environment suitable for humans. Each player's spaceship is an ark with a collection of unique plants, animals, and microorganisms capable of populating entire ecosystems. Together, players will fill the oceans and continents with life, construct food chains, cause and fight natural disasters, help their fosterlings adapt and survive in strange conditions. In the end the one terraformer whose creatures prove the most resilient and prolific throughout the new world, overcoming the competition, receives the honor of naming this human-made paradise. —desciption from the back of the box
