Create balanced ecologies while trying to unbalance opponents.

In ECOLOGIES, you build and maintain food webs in diverse biomes around the world. Each biome has a different ecology, and gives unique rewards when it is healthy and balanced. But watch out, your opponents may decide it's easier to disturb and degrade your ecosystems than nurture their own. In this hectic environment, you must choose how best to protect and care for your ecologies.

Designed by a biology teacher, the game includes 77 unique organisms, 7 biomes, and beautiful vintage Victorian art. (108 cards total)

Gameplay Overview
Ecologies is the original food web card game from Montrose Biology — a beautifully illustrated, scientifically grounded strategy game where players build and maintain healthy food webs across seven real-world biomes, from tropical rainforests to arctic tundra. Each organism card specifies what it eats and what eats it, so cards must be arranged logically with producers at the base and apex predators at the top — exactly as they appear in nature. A healthy, balanced biome rewards its builder with powerful perks and bonuses, but opponents can choose to disrupt your ecosystem rather than build their own, creating a tense strategic tension between nurturing and sabotage. The vintage Victorian scientific illustration style gives the game a gorgeous, distinctive look that stands apart from the typical nature game aesthetic. Reviewers have called it a genuine hobby game that happens to also be deeply educational — equally at home on a game night table as in a science classroom, with a solo mode, simplified rules for younger players, and a 24-page rulebook that doubles as a science overview.
