Rep-Tiles — Game Review & Analysis

About Rep-Tiles, from BoardGameGeek:

In Rep-Tiles, a group of scientists have unearthed new species of reptiles; however, their population is incredibly small. You and your fellow conservationists have been tasked with protecting these new species, while we learn more about their patterns and habitats. It is no easy feat, but you'll gain your mastery of conservation as you save these beautiful reptiles. Each round you'll be drafting colorful scale tiles to place on your reptile cards. Reptile cards have specific patterns that you'll need complete to save them. On your turn you'll be making progress towards conservation by choosing to: feed, grow, protect, or save. Your decisions will effect what actions you can take on a turn, so choose wisely. As you play you'll earn masteries based on your successful conservation efforts, these masteries reward you with additional points. Once the final mastery is drawn, the final round begins. The player with the most points earned, wins! -description from publisher
