New islands have emerged from the ocean and as scientists, you must research the new, developing ecosystems present there! Watch the islands on the board grow in three dimensions as you learn more about them, and add colorful plants and animals to each island as you explore their ecosystems. Each round, earn points by rolling your dice and using them to collect research and make discoveries. All players start with the same research board, however throughout the game you'll be able to modify your own board and change what you're researching. After 8 rounds, score points based on how flourished and biodiverse your islands are and varying research objectives.

This will gain players all of the components for the base game (dice, foxes, tokens) in the Kickstarter Edition for either backers who already own the Fox Experiment (either the retail edition or the previous Kickstarter edition) who do NOT already own the 5-6 player expansion. This is the correct pledge for backers who want the wooden upgrades for the base game AND to purchase the 5-6 player expansion. You will get some additional wooden components to upgrade your base game to the same components as the Deluxe Wooden Edition as well as the Deluxe Wooden Edition of the 5-6 player expansion. A copy of the Fox Experiment base game is required to play as this does not include critical gameplay components from the base game.
