About the Game

Every. Single. Species.

Some help each other. Others give in to their natural instincts.
With more than 400 cards to discover, experiment with countless combinations and shape your own path!

Ecosystem Builder

Cards interact with each other on an expanding hexagonal grid.
Each card has a unique effect that influences the animals and plants around it on the board.
Inspired by nature, the possibilities are endless. Unleash your creativity and trigger insane combos in a single turn!

Rule Wild City

Lead your campaign, rally supporters, and outvote your rivals to become the Mayor of Wild City.
As you progress through your electoral campaign, you will face Protests and Boss Fights that shake up the rules, forcing you to quickly adapt to new obstacles and debuffs.

Exploit and Escalate

The more you play, the more synergies you'll discover.
Thanks to a keyword-based system, a single card can be used in many different ways as each building block interconnects.
As every piece of your build comes together, you will reach heights you did not think were possible!

Overview

  • A unique strategic roguelike deckbuilding experience! Deckbuilding meets tile placement.
