Quillén: Bosque Esclerófilo is a deck-building and dice-management game for 2 to 4 players who take on the role of conservationists restoring a degraded Chilean Mediterranean-climate ecosystem. Through the restoration of native flora, fauna, and funga, players work to create a resilient environment capable of providing vital ecosystem services and managing the essential cycle of water.
During the game, players play hands of five cards to launch and manage colored dice representing different environmental factors. These dice are used as resources to purchase Restoration cards (which upgrade the player's deck and improve future actions) or Scoring cards. Strategy involves balancing dice rolls, mitigating the effects of "Drought" cards, and managing a limited individual reserve to optimize resources.
The winner is the player who earns the most Victory Points (PV) by the end of the round in which someone reaches 15 points. Ties are broken by the number of high-level Restoration cards in a player's possession, rewarding those who built the most complex and healthy ecosystems.
