Setup

  • Shuffle the terrain tiles and form a mouthful pile in the center.

  • Sort animal tokens by type into groups.

  • Form the row of 5 visible terrain+animal pairs to choose from.

  • Deal 3 starting terrain tiles to each player, placed in a triangle.

  • Place 1 random target card per animal type (or use family mode)

Rules

  1. 1

    Each turn, choose one of the 5 available pairs (land + animal token).

  2. 2

    Place the terrain tile connected to an existing one and the token on the corresponding terrain. Each ticket allows 1 animal only.

  3. 3

    If there are 3 or more matching tokens in the row, you can perform a cleanup action and replace them with new tokens.

  4. 4

    The target cards define how each animal scores: in a line, in a group, in pairs or in specific patterns.

Victory conditions

  • When the terrain tiles are finished, the score is counted

  • Each type of animal scores according to the target card active in that game.

  • Larger territories of each terrain type give additional points (1 point per tile in the largest territory of each type).

  • Nature tokens are received for special formations, which are worth 1 point each.

  • Whoever scores the most points in total wins.
