Biomes of Nilgiris
Biomes of Nilgiris is een bordspel waarin spelers de surrealistische Nilgiri-biosfeer van India verkennen, vol met unieke flora en fauna. Als natuurbeschermers – ecologen, fotografen en burgerwetenschappers – proberen ze nieuwe soorten te ontdekken, ecologische problemen aan te pakken, natuurbehoudsmissies te voltooien en ecologiepunten te verdienen.
Spelers passen zich in elk spel samen aan twee steeds veranderende scenario's aan en introduceren zo nieuwe concepten en doelstellingen. Als specialisten verkennen ze de uitgestrekte gebieden van Nilgiris, schrijven ze velddagboeken, doen ze ervaring op in het station, rusten ze zichzelf uit met gereedschap, beschermen ze soorten in hun habitat en lossen ze vakkundig ecologische uitdagingen op. Het spel is bedoeld als een meeslepende ervaring die de wonderen van de natuur en de kunst van natuurbehoud viert.
Het spel speelt zich af in een turn-based, missiegerichte opzet. Elke beurt kunnen spelers drie van de acht acties uitvoeren:
REIZEN op het modulaire bord
VERKENNEN om nieuwe bioomkaarten vrij te maken
DAGBOEK om aantekeningen te maken in een veldgids
STUDEREN om bruikbare XP te verdienen met je aantekeningen
ONTDEK nieuwe soorten
RUST een nieuwe uitrusting uit
BESCHERM soorten of biomen, voornamelijk om ecologiepunten te verkrijgen
