Coexist, a board game by Matagot, puts players in the role of leaders of non-governmental organizations whose mission is to save endangered species and ensure their survival in their natural environment. To do this, you must mobilize teams of animal caretakers, release animals back into the wild, and provide them with sanctuary in your rescue center.
The game combines card selection and resource management mechanics. Releasing animals earns points and unlocks special abilities, but requires careful planning to avoid overestimating the team's capabilities. The illustrations are by renowned Bordeaux-based street artist A-MO, and the project was developed in partnership with HISA, an organization dedicated to biodiversity conservation.
Features:
- Basic mechanics: open-drafting and resource-management;
- Game end conditions: the first player to release five endangered species into the wild triggers the game end;
- Winner: the player with the most points at the end of the game;
- Artwork: unique illustrations by street artist A-MO;
- Developed in collaboration with the environmental organization HISA.
