GAME PLAY

You are a researcher tasked with maintaining a meadow of an endangered wildflower, the Appalachian Jacob’s-ladder (Polemonium vanbruntiae).

At the start, the plants are all clones: sharing the exact same genes and weaknesses. Each turn, you’ll receive updates about new environmental threats. Use these hints to plan your actions and reduce the number of flowers that are lost.

Balance between two strategies– rapid expansion by cloning, and building resilience by introducing adaptations– to sustain the wildflower population in the meadow.

The DNA bar tracks the population’s genetic resilience. As it fills, your research advances. Keep the population alive and complete your research before the last flower dies!

🎓 Learning takeaway

Players will understand the importance of genetic diversity in conservation, and should feel an emotional connection with the goal of preserving an endangered species.
