About the project

In Rainforest, each player restores a jungle tile by tile to bring back iconic species and protect their totem animal. Every turn, players take a jungle tile along with all the Species tokens of one color or type, then place them on their tiles. Points come from completed tiles, Protected Area tokens matching their jungle, and a Diversity bonus for gathering all five colors.

Challenges and Risks

  • A turn split into many steps, each supporting undo
  • Shared Protected Area tokens that must never be claimed twice
  • Scoring multipliers and a Diversity bonus applied to every tile placed afterwards
  • A full rewrite to the new BGA framework while the game kept running live
