About the game

What is Symbiosis?

Symbiose is a fast-paced, strategic card game where you must join forces with your neighbors to compete with your aquatic counterparts. The goal? Create the most prosperous pond in the region! In this turn-based game, your goal is to strategically place your cards to maximize your overall score. But be aware, each card score depending of its placement: on the left, you score depending on your left neighbor ; on the right, depending of your right neighbor and in the center depending of your own cards. Choose wisely! —description from the publisher
