About the game
Dive deeper into marine ecosystems with Ilan, where marine organisms from the Southern Hemisphere challenge you to build efficient food chains. This promotional set introduces new species and factors that will transform the way you play. Draw cards from the deck, play biodiversity cards, chain many actions one after another to outplace rivals, and form trophic chains to easily earn Victory Points. The bigger the trophic chain, the more points are scored! Human and Natural Factor cards can change the course of the game, changing the ecosystem conditions and affecting either the species in the game or the players themselves! Players may interact between them or with the species found in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, a line of cards from which predators can feed or some species may migrate. This game can be played in many ways to achieve victory! Discover new possibilities and add an exciting twist to your adventures with these promotional cards! —description from the publisher
