In Earth, each player builds an ecosystem in a 4x4 grid of plant and terrain cards. On your turn you choose one of four actions: planting cards, composting, watering, or growing.
You get a strong version of the action, and everyone else gets a weaker one. Then all players activate the abilities on their cards matching that action's color, so you're building an engine that fires on everyone's turns. The game ends when a player fills all 16 spaces, and points come from cards, growth, and shared and secret goals.
