For full support, this would also need:

• chess
• multi_agent_ale_py (looks dead; I asked about the status)
• rlcard

But it would be fine to first do the base without the optional installs. In fact, we have to do that to break the circularity between pettingzoo and shimmy, see Farama-Foundation/PettingZoo#1104

I'm not familiar with the backend mechanisms of adding things to conda, but my guess is it's probably best to just do the base install without optionals, as I mentioned in that other issue on pettingzoo, it's not really possible to eliminate the circular imports currently. Even if it wasn't Shimmy and we reverted to the old hanabi environment, we would still depend on multi-agent-ale which then depends on pettingzoo.
