What to Expect
In 45–60 minutes you build an ecosystem from plants and animals across six South American ecoregions (e.g., Amazon, Pantanal). Each turn you play a card, choose one of two actions, then attract fauna and flora to your ecosystem while managing resources such as water and seeds. The simple action structure leads to many meaningful choices due to the large card variety and interactions between biomes.
Who Is This Game For?
Suited for hobby gamers and nature enthusiasts who enjoy engine-building and strategic hand management. With a playing time around 60 minutes it fits on a game night rather than a quick filler. Some prior experience with card-driven or engine games makes learning easier.
How It Works
Rewild mixes Action Retrieval, Hand Management, Market, Set Collection and Tile Placement. On your turn you play a card, take one of the two depicted actions and may add animal or plant cards to your ecosystem. Resources (water, minerals, seeds) are used to expand biomes or trigger effects. The game includes solitaire rules for solo play.
What Makes It Special
Designed by Bruno Liguori Sia, Rewild focuses on six South American ecoregions and models dependencies between flora and fauna. Its USP is combining card-driven action choices with engine-building linked to an ecology theme. The game is part of the 'Continents: South America' family and has roots in Kickstarter crowdfunding.
