Description
Endangered is a cooperative game that combines strategy, teamwork, and a race against time to save iconic species whose survival hangs by a thread. Only you and your team of dedicated conservationists can save them from extinction!
To begin, you will step into the shoes of unique heroes like the Zoologist, Philanthropist, TV Wildlife Host, Lobbyist, or Environmental Lawyer—each armed with special abilities to turn the tide in this fight for survival. Together, your goal is to protect majestic tigers and playful sea otters from the relentless march of environmental destruction.
To succeed, you must rally support from the United Nations, sway key ambassadors, and secure the crucial votes needed to pass a life-saving resolution… but the clock is ticking and the challenges are immense!
Every turn presents tough choices and high-stakes decisions. Strategize with your teammates, roll dice to activate powerful action cards, and take bold steps to preserve habitats, mitigate threats and encroaching destruction, and ensure species' survival by helping each species find mates.
Timing is crucial and every move matters. Can you and your team overcome destruction, safeguard dwindling populations, and sway the UN to act before it's too late or will humanity's progress spell the end for these incredible creatures?
