Montrose Biology - Ecologies: Marvelous Microbes

Explore microscopic ecosystems! Based on the original food web building game, ECOLOGIES, this game looks at microscopic food webs and the amazing creatures that live in them. Each biome is from a different miniature environment or microhabitat. Using real science, and in collaboration with both a microbiologist and an award-winning science illustrator, we look at fascinating life forms that are usually overlooked. Designed by a biology teacher, the game includes 78 unique organisms in 7 micro biomes, and features beautiful scientific art. (108 cards total) Players: 1-6 Ages: 12+ (8+ with included simplified rules) Time: 60-90 minutes Game Modes: Standard, Simplified, Single Player The goal is to build healthy food webs in different biomes.
