Sanctuary is a strategic tile placement and ecosystem building game where players design natural reserves by placing terrain tiles and populating them with wildlife. Each animal has specific habitat requirements, and players must carefully construct balanced environments to maximise biodiversity and scoring efficiency. The game emphasises spatial planning and long term ecosystem optimisation.

As the board develops, players must adapt to limited space and competing priorities, ensuring their sanctuary remains both efficient and ecologically diverse. Strategic placement is key to creating synergistic habitats that support multiple species simultaneously.
