Phylo will be available for playtesting! play it before it's released
I'm involved with the Phylo game (I wrote core rules) and will be bringing it along to let people playtest it before release. oooh.
What's Phylo? Phylo takes real world species and lets you build a dynamic habitat to support them. You might be able to play that Bear now, but if the habitat won't support it, it will eat your other cards, then starve!
Currently in Alpha testing. It should be ready for Beta testing by AC.
This is an open source, non-commercial project and we're looking for artwork! Love realistic animal illustration? Always wanted to see your favorite real animal accurately represented in a game and see people call it by its Latin binomial? Contribute some artwork! Your website will be listed on the card along with your name.
Saw it on BoingBoing, I'll give it a shot if I'm nearby when tested.
Just did the very first alpha test of this game. You guys will get to do the beta test!
For thos einterested in the playtest process you can see the very first playtest report for Phylo HERE:

I am also taking the train into Pittsburgh on Thursday, headed back Monday. Track me down and I will be willing to demo this for you on the train!
