Endless Forms is a 2-player strategy card game based on real organisms and natural science concepts. The abilities of Species cards in the game reflect the real-life survival strategies of the animals the cards are named after. Likewise, the consequences of Effect and Event cards mirror the effects of the natural phenomena that they are based upon. By playing the game, players will intuitively learn the roles that these wild organisms, habitats, and biological concepts play in nature.
