Great game for gamers!
If you like games like Wingspan, you’ll love Earth. The theme is fun and it’s complex enough to really make you think about your own strategy. I like that you can’t be sure who will end up on top until you tally the scores. Plays well with 2 people. (Good game for couples.)

We loved it!
We played twice on the same day and we loved it. There were 3 of us and we really liked the beautiful cards and the fact there’s no waiting for another player to complete his turn. I compare it to Wingspan and Everdell and Terraforming Mars and it’s like a combination of all of these plus more.

Like Wingspan, Better than Terraforming Mars
I love board games and I own and play hundreds each year. This one is great. Let me give you some details without boring you, then some pros and cons and my overall rating:GameplayIf you have played Wingspan and Terraforming Mars(TM), then this game will feel very similar. Although I think it is superior to TM and more friendly to new gamers.In EARTH you are in charge of an island and you are attempting to be the player to create the best symbiotic and efficient island. Each turn the active player will choose one of four actions. S/he will perform the main action and all other players will perform the secondary action. Thus, you are always engaged in the game with almost no down time. You continue to take turns until one person has completed a 4×4 grid of cards. You get points in so many different ways that each game is VERY different and unique. TONS of replayability! Most points wins the game.I have played a couple of times with four people and it takes us about 90 minutes to play.PROS- Very thematic.- Beautiful artwork.- Easy to learn and teach.- Super fun (even when you lose… I guess).- Tons of replayability.- Always actively gaming with something to do on everyone’s turn.- Player boards and iconography are really good so you can easily understand cards/actions.CONS- Can create a little AP (analysis paralysis) in some people and slow game down a bit.- Not enough opportunity to play the game more… I really honestly don’t have much negative to say!Overall Rating:Two thumbs up.9.5 out of 10 BGG RatingI am fully supportive of you purchasing this game… you will enjoy it.

Beautiful artwork, strategic gameplay
Love this game when we’re looking for a longer length, advanced gameplay. Each turn you choose from different actions to build resources, place cards, draw more cards or gain victory points. This creates a lot of opportunity for strategic gameplay, which can slow the game down but also make it very fun and have great replayability.The theme and artwork in the game are gorgeous and one of our favorite parts of this game. The quality of the game pieces are really nice, but as other have mentioned there are slight variations in the shape of the tree game pieces – which stack on top of each other, making them not stack perfectly. We find this does not impact game play.This game has a learning curve due to a long instructions booklet and unique icons used on cards and player boards that communicate actions. This made the first time playing this game extra lengthy, but after playing a few times it’s definitely become easier and much faster.All-in-all, once you learn the game and play it a few times this game is really fun and cozy to play!

a beautiful, enjoyable game
This is a beautiful game with gorgeous photos on all 500+ cards. The theme fits well, and there is a superb amount of variety in the game. Admittedly, there is an aspect of ‘playing solitaire with your friends,’ because everyone works on their own thing while having limited effect on other players, but there is still strategy and paying attention to what others are doing. So many choices!

Very fun after you get the hang of it
Without fail, once we teach friends this game and they get over the initial intimidation, they are obsessed with it and want it play it again.

Very in depth game
This game is extremely in depth and pretty hard to learn. It took my husband and I a good hour to really fully understand how to play. We ended up watching a video on the instructions and reading the provided instructions in tandem in order to grasp it. There are a lot of cards and pieces that go along with this game, so definitely not a travel friendly game. If you like strategy and thinking ahead, this is for you. You’re basically building an island with an ecosystem using various plants and animals. It’s definitely fun, but it takes time to fully grasp. I would recommend it for sure.
