About the game

The world’s most iconic animals are vanishing and only you can stop it. Endangered is a high-stakes cooperative game that plunges you into the front lines of global conservation. Strategy, teamwork, and bold action are your only weapons in a desperate bid to rescue species on the brink. Step into the role of a heroic conservationist — the sharp-eyed Zoologist, the influential Philanthropist, the passionate TV Wildlife Host, the persuasive Lobbyist, or the tenacious Environmental Lawyer. Each has a unique power to rally the world and rewrite the animals’ fate. Your mission is to save majestic tigers, playful sea otters, and more from a relentless wave of habitat destruction, human encroachment, and political apathy. Time is running out, and you must work as a team to build momentum, manage crises, and win over skeptical UN ambassadors. Every round, roll dice to trigger powerful actions: restore habitats, form breeding pairs, neutralize threats, and shift global opinion in your favor. Every choice matters and the pressure mounts with each passing turn. The resolution must pass, or the species you fight to protect will disappear forever. Can your team tip the scales in nature’s favor, or will humanity’s failure doom these creatures to extinction?
