Extra points
OH NO!
Oh no! A new species has made its way into your forest, {{alert.new}}.
It’s a pesky tiny species with a very specific diet.
It can only eat blue foods and only the foods with a tiny value of 1.
It’s incredibly good at finding its food. All blue cards with a value of 1 must go to Species E.
Being small, it only requires 3 food points to survive.
Your goal is still to keep Species A-D alive
It can only eat all foods with a value of 3.
It’s incredibly good at finding its food. All cards with a value of 3 must go to Species E.
Being small, it only requires 3 food points to survive.
Your goal is still to keep Species A-D alive
Record your total food points by species and year in the data table :
For each species, add up the number of points from each food card. Remember, food cards have different
point values on them, so be careful to count the number on the card and not just the card itself.
Type the total number of food points for each species in the data table.
Be sure to record the total in the correct species column.
If a species does not get 5 or more food points, then they are left hungry and do not have enough energy to survive.
Click a heart to cross out a heart on your game board. If they have NO hearts remaining and do not get 5 points,
then sadly the species has died out. Please click the box “Dead”
If a species gets extra food points, then they can store that extra energy. For every 2 extra food points, give your
species an extra life by drawing a heart. (For example: if your species gets 7 total food points, subtract the 5 points
they use in order to survive. This leaves 2 remaining points, which gives that species one extra life. If your species gets
9 total food points, it will get 2 extra lives. If your species gets 8 food items total, it still only gets 1 extra life.)
Congratulations! You have completed the round. Let’s reflect on what
happened to the species in your forest.
You cannot feed this species since it is dead.
The End
Congratulations! You have completed the Invasive Species Game.
We hope you have learned about how an invasive species can ruin the ecosystem
and make it hard for the native species to survive.
...
Instructions!
Pick a resource card from the upper right, and feed it to one of the species.
Each species can only eat certain colors, so be sure to place your card on a species that can eat it.
Each card may have a food point value of 1 through 3.
Once you place that card, you cannot move it to a different species.
You will place 12 cards in each “year” of the game.
Each species needs 5 food points to survive each year. Your goal is to keep all species alive.
You’ll play two rounds of the game, each one lasting three “years”.
