A conservation card game

Wildlife Reserve

Balance of Nature

Guide a fictional reserve through three years of seasons. Each season brings weather, a choice of Decision Cards, and living consequences for your land and wildlife.

Best Reserve Score 0

How to Play

Play 12 seasons across three years (Spring → Winter).
Each season applies a seasonal effect and one weather event — or, from Year 2, a rare opportunity.
You are dealt three Decision Cards. Pick one you can afford with your Budget.
Every choice changes metrics, habitats, and wildlife. Read the result summary to learn why.
Cards can combine: some played earlier make later cards stronger.
After 12 seasons you receive an overall rating. There is no game over — recover and improve.
