What is Montado
The montado is a Mediterranean ecosystem shaped by humans, where cork oaks and holm oaks coexist with grazing. It is a multifunctional system that combines cork, timber, and pasture production with biodiversity conservation.
In this tableau-building card game with hand management, each player takes on the role of a guardian of an ecosystem, selecting and combining fauna and flora cards to create a balanced habitat.
On each turn, players choose available species and place them strategically in their territory, respecting natural food chains — each animal can only be introduced if its food source is already present in the ecosystem.
The challenge lies in balancing the needs of each species while maximizing points through your cards and shared objectives, represented by different professions that value specific aspects of your ecosystem.
