Be on the prowl in Ecosystem: Savanna, a Serengeti-inspired card-drafting game where you craft a thriving African grassland. Choose, pass, and arrange cards representing a diverse array of savanna organisms—zebras, elephants, cheetahs, lions, and more. Earn points by aligning herbivores with suitable habitats like watering holes and strategically positioning carnivores to hunt nearby prey. Diversify your food web to maximize bonuses and balance the delicate connections within this vibrant ecosystem.

Ecosystem: Savanna is the third standalone game in the Ecosystem series, featuring a fresh lineup of organisms, including powerful scavengers. Players draft organism cards and arrange them into a 4x5 grid, creating their unique ecosystem. After filling their personal grid of 20 cards, players score based on their ability to build cohesive food webs and explore the diversity of the savanna environment. The player with the highest score wins!

The game also includes rules for solo play, allowing for an engaging single-player experience.
