About the game
This game will give you the power to become the architect of a primary forest. To win the game, you need to be the best strategist: your forest need to be the biggest and the least degraded by the Man. In particular, don't forget that fauna and flora need to remain in balance ... [based on the editor description] In concrete terms, you build complete trees, composed of 4 layers (roots in the soil, 2 levels of trunk, and the crown). Each layer can host only a limited number of animals. For example, with 4 trees, you try to have exactly 4 individuals of each species. [based on description on Ludigaume site]
