Preserve

In Preserve, you shape a growing natural world by placing terrain, plants, and animals to create habitats. Each biome—from forests and savannas to reefs—has its own environmental rules and challenges. Use the cards available to you to arrange land, vegetation, and wildlife. Plan habitat sizes, animal needs, terrain features, and neighboring tiles to earn points; reaching score goals unlocks more cards and environments. Maps can expand horizontally and stack into connected layers. Play scoring and puzzle modes, including puzzles with a set map and limited cards. Creative mode lets you build without those constraints, while photo mode captures finished maps and weekly challenges offer another scoring goal. A card-upcycling system can provide natural wonders for your landscapes.

Build layered ecosystems by placing terrain, plants, and animals across distinct biomes, balancing habitat rules to score and unlock more.
