Tigers, sea otters and other iconic animals are vanishing, and in Endangered you play the people trying to save them. Pick a conservationist, whether the sharp-eyed Zoologist, the influential Philanthropist, the TV Wildlife Host, the persuasive Lobbyist or the tenacious Environmental Lawyer. Each has a unique power to rally the world. Together you face habitat destruction, human encroachment and political apathy, build momentum, manage crises and win over skeptical UN ambassadors. Every round you roll dice to trigger actions, with some push-your-luck risk. A cooperative game for one to five players, around ninety minutes, with a serious subject and a hopeful tone.

Who it's for

You like cooperative games with a real-world mission, enjoy discussing what to do next, and want a solo option too.

Not for you if…

You want a competitive or very light game. It is a cooperative planning exercise with a serious theme.

Vibe's take

Urgent but constructive. The dice give you plenty of options, and the crises keep you debating where the next action does the most good.
