Preserve is a logic game in which we are engaged in creating our own ecosystems from scratch. The game was developed by the independent studio Bitmap Galaxy from Bratislava. This studio has RandoMine and YesterMorrow games in its portfolio.

Gameplay

In Preserve we watch events in an isometric view. The gameplay takes place on boards covered with a grid of hexagonal fields. They include alpine forests, savannas, or coral reefs.

Communing with nature

We want to fill the boards with life and so we play cards representing specific objects (like rivers or lakes), as well as species of plants and animals. Over time we gain access to so-called miracles of nature, such as lavender fields or sequoia forests, which further enhance our maps.
