Eco-Links

About this board game

Eco-Links is a 2018 board game for 2–4 players that takes about 20 minutes to play. In a world where environmental changes have separated animals from their natural habitats and families, players work to reconnect them by creating paths.

The game is played over several rounds, with everyone taking their turn at the same time. At the start of each round, six number tiles are revealed. Players use these numbers to place their animal markers on the corresponding spaces of their boards.

Once the markers are in place, the challenge is to connect them all together with path tiles. Speed matters: only the first and second players to successfully link all their markers can score points for that round. This creates a race in which careful path building must be matched by quick execution.

• For 2–4 players
• Approximately 20 minutes per game
• Simultaneous play in several rounds
• Number tiles, animal markers, boards, and path tiles
• Points for the first and second players to complete their links

Each round offers a fresh opportunity to restore connections, while the scoring rewards players who can finish their paths before their opponents. Because everyone plays simultaneously, the action stays focused on completing the objective as efficiently as possible.

At the end of the game, the player with the most points wins. With its environmental theme, race to complete connected paths, and accessible 20-minute format, Eco-Links presents a compact competitive challenge for groups of two to four.
