About the game
The Campaign is a series of up to 5 games of Endangered. Each game must use a different species scenario. Winning a game makes the next game harder, while losing a game makes the next game easier! Before each game, randomly draw one Campaign card (that hasn't already been used in this Campaign). Each card describes conditions dependent on whether you won or lost the previous game. After reading the condition, select your species Scenario and difficulty, and apply the condition. Track your wins and losses. If you achieve 3 wins before you suffer 3 losses, your campaign is a success! If you suffer 3 losses first, sadly you have failed in your mission. Good luck!
