From BoardGameGeek

Long ago, the world of Circadia pulsed in perfect rhythm, each habitat watched over by its guardian spirit. But when Day lingered too long and Night grew restless, the strength of the guardians began to wane. You are a Guide of the Dreaming Paths, tasked with leading the Winged Bear, the Rooted Axolotl, and the Cloud Goose back to their domains. By weaving the powers of Spirit Creatures into harmonious gatherings, you will restore their connection to the Habitats. But only the Guide who brings the most balance back to Circadia will be remembered as the Keeper of the Eternal Cycle. In this captivating card game, you and your fellow Guides compete as you restore balance to Circadia. On your turn, play Spirit Creature cards to create powerful sets. The stronger the set, the more valuable the Habitat you can claim. Each Habitat card brings you closer to victory by awarding Balance points. Carefully manage your hand and plan your sets to create a harmonious sequence of Day and Night cards. When one Guide reaches 15 Balance points, it is time for one final round. And the player with the most Balance points wins! -description from the publisher
