About the game
Now your expanding continent can include iconic landscape features! Add Kilimanjaro, the Sahara, Serengeti, and others to your developing world. And of course, there are more animals to increase the population of your ecosystem - from Nile Crocodiles to herds of Zebra. New Horizon introduces a new type of card mechanic to play these landscape features, and each interacts with the landscape in a unique way that will affect all players’ choices throughout the game. Can your plans withstand the creeping expansion of the Sahara or benefit from the deep jungle of the Congo Basin? —description from the designer

Questions and answers
Ecos: New Horizon supports 2–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Ecos: New Horizon is 45–75 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Ecos: New Horizon for ages 14 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Ecos: New Horizon has a complexity rating of 2.8 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
Ecos: New Horizon belongs to these categories: Animals, Expansion for Base-game, and Environmental. Categories describe the theme, setting and style of a game rather than its rules.

The credited designers of Ecos: New Horizon are: John D. Clair.

The catalogue lists Ecos: New Horizon as an expansion for Ecos: First Continent. Expansions add new content, rules or scenarios to the base game and usually cannot be played on their own, so you need Ecos: First Continent to use it. Check that your edition of Ecos: First Continent is compatible, as some expansions were revised between editions.
