New islands have emerged from the ocean and as scientists, you must research the new, developing ecosystems present there! Watch the islands on the board grow in three dimensions as you learn more about them, and add colorful plants and animals to each island as you explore their ecosystems. Each round, earn points by rolling your dice and using them to collect research and make discoveries. All players start with the same research board, however throughout the game you'll be able to modify your own board and change what you're researching. After 8 rounds, score points based on how flourished and biodiverse your islands are and varying research objectives.
