Life of the Amazonia

Build your very own thriving jungle by discovering various wild animals, insects, and plants. 

’Life of the Amazonia’ is a medium-weight strategic meeple placing game that combines bag building and pattern building. In Life of the Amazonia, you’ll be invited to the lush jungle of the Amazon to join in the mission of building an ecologically rich jungle. The beautiful animals of the Amazon will guide you through the deep puzzles and strategic experience. After a pleasantly challenging game, you’ll find that there is a beautiful jungle created in front of each player.

Be prepared to run your very own conservation organization to make the jungles of the Amazon flourish. Create your very own high-scoring strategy from a variety of action options such as placing animals and plants, restoring an area, purchasing cards, and more!

Players will use 4 types of resources with different abilities to perform various actions in order to restore the Jungle. Buy higher-value tokens according to your strategy and strengthen your bag in the desired direction to perform those actions more efficiently!

Animals and plants in the Amazon each have their own unique characteristics. Some will provide Environmental Points based on how many trees are in their habitat, how many different animals surround them, or how large their habitat is. Know the characteristics of each Animal and place them in the most optimal location.

In addition to scoring through animals, there are various ways to earn points throughout the game. Scenery cards that can be purchased and track points for planting flora. Strategically use these various scoring methods and bonuses to score higher than your opponents! 

The 60,000 different ways to set up the Basic Animals and a variety of Unique Animals provides a different kind of fun for each game. At the end of the game, each player’s Jungle will vary in shape and size, all taking on a different form.

Life of the Amazonia is also available for Solo play. In Life of the Amazonia solo mode, Players play the game against a challenging virtual opponent, Black Comet. Solo mode consists of 9 total scenarios, and each scenario is made up of various prearranged sets and rules to provide varying levels of enjoyment.

6. Bad Comet Games is comprised of a small group of individuals. Unlike many bigger publishers who are able to publish straight to retail, our small team needs the help of supporters to produce and release our creations. We’ve built a great community of Supporters through our previous Kickstarter projects and through the love and support we were able to bring Shaolia and Wild: Serengeti to life. The same goes for our new project, Life of the Amazonia. The team's dedication and passion to making this project a reality can only reach so far without the support from our backers. Kickstarter creates the chance for our projects to see light!

7. Through our last campaign, we were fortunate to be amidst a valuable experience. Producing a game with our Backers to truly make it a game developed by everyone. Through the many ideas and feedback from so many of our passionate Backers, we were able to further develop the game. During the Life of the Amazonia campaign, we plan to actively collect and discuss Backer’s ideas through votes and/or comments. For our team, Backers are not just customers who purchase our games, but partners who become the source of inspiration and development. We want to make sure your involvement matters in creating this project! So, join us, and become a part of our community where we’ll do this together.
