Moorland (2023)

About this game

As the morning sun tentatively rises above the high moor, its light filters through the remaining mist. The ground beneath the swaying, ancient trees is a haven for specialized animals and plants, making this an important place for our environment. In Moorland, it's up to you to manage this fragile and fascinating ecosystem and its uniquely adapted creatures. Success lies in cleverly linking waterways and distributing plants to keep your own moor alive. Create a diverse habitat for various animal species and compete to build the best ecosystem. —description from the publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 2.4/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
