Gone Cardboard News: Habitat - A New Title from Valley Games

Apparently Valley Games still has a bit of room on its plate as it’s announced another title: Habitat, by first-time designer Elliot Hogg. Here’s a description of the game from the publisher:

In Habitat, your goal is to attract the most complex and diverse animal life to your portion of the great North Woods. The most vibrant ecosystems are those that have organisms from all levels of life, from the producers up to the dominant predators. Therefore, to win a game of Habitat, a player must create a complete collection of cards ranked 1-8.

Cards are stacked in order of rank, from lowest to highest, to form Food Chains. There may be multiple Food Chains and duplicate ranks, but only one card from each rank is needed to win. By contrast, an unsupported chain of cards carries the risk that creatures become hungry—or even begin to starve! When a player has collected the necessary cards and all animals are fed, that player declares a “Habitat” and wins the game.

Habitat, which is for 2-6 players with a playing time of 20-60 minutes, will be added to the Valley Games “750 Special” preorder list in the near future with an expected release in 2008. This game has been added to Gone Cardboard.
