From the ocean depths, new islands have emerged, and as a scientist, you will find yourself exploring the emerging ecosystems. Watch the islands expand in three dimensions on the board, uncovering more and more details, and enrich each island with colorful plants and animals as you investigate the ecosystems. Each turn, accumulate points by rolling the dice and using them to gather information and make discoveries. Each player starts with the same research board, but over the course of the game, you will be able to customize your board and your research. After eight turns, points are calculated based on the prosperity and biodiversity of your ecosystems and the varying research objectives.
