Keystone: North America
Players act as biologists building interconnected ecosystems by placing wildlife cards on a shared tableau. Cards represent species, skills, and keystone animals that interact to form chains and score points based on adjacency and abilities. The game supports competitive multiplayer and a solo/co-op campaign told through an illustrated Field Journal that presents scenarios, puzzles, and narrative progression across North American habitats. Players manage hand resources, trigger species effects, and plan placements to optimize research objectives and ecosystem dynamics.

Garfield2.0 Didn't enjoy it. If you don't fulfill your 4 secret goals you won't win. But the biggest problem I have with this game is that it tends towards extreme AP. You could think 5min about the best placement. At the end it's a very abstract multiplayer solitaire which you should never play with persons that are suffering from AP. I would prefer Cascadia, similar, but Cascadia looks nice and doesn't suffer that much from AP.
