This was fun! I beat the game after 5 tries with the bio approach, took 99.8 turns
It was not clear to me that cards can be moved out of the area. Once I got that, I could get rid of the heavy pollution and won pretty quickly.
Also took me a while to understand why I get the "starving people" card. It's obvious now, but somehow I didn't understand that "You didn't have enough pink currency so people are starving" relates to the specific point in time when the people area generates a point.
Good work! Thanks for putting this online!
