What is Conservation Crisis

In Conservation Crisis you set out to save your chosen species from extinction. You do this by acquiring resources for your reserve and creating environments where the animals can survive alongside the local communities. Its design combines the experiences Richard has had through his conservation work and our combined love of board games.

Each round, players receive $100,000 of Donor Funding when they reach HQ, as well as income from tourist lodges they have built. They then take event cards, which make their wildlife populations go up or down dependent on which projects and staff they have built, and continue around the board spending their money to rebuild their reserves. The game also includes a ‘poacher’s checkpoint’ where players must choose to pay a ‘bribe’ to pass straight through or wait two turns. If a player pays the ‘bribe’ they take a bribe card, which they turn over at HQ; all bribe cards are negative, so players soon learn to avoid them, teaching an important lesson about the dangers of corruption!

- CONSERVATION CRISIS! Take control of a wildlife reserve in crisis and rescue a species!

- SAVE A SPECIES! Test yourself and take your $100,000 then put it to work at saving animals
