What if the formation of Earth had gone differently?

In Ecos: First Continent, players are forces of nature molding the planet, but with competing visions of its grandeur. You have the chance to create a part of the world, similar but different to the one we know. Which landscapes, habitats, and species thrive will be up to you.

Gameplay in Ecos is simultaneous. Each round, one player reveals element tokens from the element bag, giving all players the opportunity to complete a card from their tableau and shape the continent to their own purpose. Elements that cannot be used can be converted into energy cubes or additional cards in hand or they can be added to your tableau to give you greater options as the game evolves.

Mountain ranges, jungle, rivers, seas, islands and savanna, each with their own fauna, all lie within the scope of the players' options.

Good Game

We have played this game a few times. We are really enjoy it. The one tricky thing it seems easy for many people to cheat by accident. You have to turn a card to show that it has been used, and for many it seems it is easy to forget it to rotate the card when you are getting a few cards completed in one turn. So, in summary, fun family game, mechanics are ok.

Great 2-player

I have only played this as a 2-player so I can only imagine it improves at 3 or 4. Still, it's one of my and my partner's faves. We get obsessed for weeks at a time and take lunch breaks to play it through, despite the 90 minute avg playtime. Aesthetically, it hits the spot of many other nature themed games and strategy-wise it's a bit more complex than our other go-tos, Castles of Burgundy and Warsaw: City of Ruins. The only con is just that at 2-players there is not quite enough variation for optimal replayability. I'm hoping that the expansion will fix that? Still, it's an essential part of our collection.

This was a nice light game, with some interesting depth.

Solid bingo-like game!

Really good "bingo-like" game. Just enough meat to keep interesting and short. Solid game!

Ecos

Great light-medium game with tons of combinations. The ebb and flow of the shared map, landscape features, and animals makes for a dynamic, interactive game that I am already 10 plays into. One of the best games of 2019.
