About the game
In an island on the Pacific Ocean lives the Tori-tori, a beautiful, unique and endemic bird of this peculiar island. As of centuries the island ecosystem have been abundant and prosperous, but recently, the population growth and industrial development are threatening the ecosystem and endangering the Tori-tori bird. Tori-Tori: Endangered Species is a cooperative game where each player takes the role of a environmentalist who is working with her colleagues to save the endangered species from the island. The team must try their best to save the species from a myriad of different hazards, from cats to droughts to lack of native vegetation. The turn develops in two phases: first the dice are rolled and the island act. Depending on what the dice has shown, players may expect different events: maybe the cats are hungry and they will move or hunt, or it rains in one sector of the island or even the industry is polluting more than usual. Then, in the second phase, the player must use their action points wisely to act upon what's happening on the island, they may need to protect the Tori-tori, but the rabbits are also in of need vegetation to eat or a fire is spreading widly near the industry. But not everything is so simple, at first players will have only basic actions to work with, but as the game progress and the players study and specialize they will learn new actions that will have an impact on preserving the life and health of the island ecosystem. To win the team must transform the town and the industry into an environmentally friendly alternative but if any native species goes extinct the game is over and the team lose. —description from the publisher
