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
Each turn, choose one of the 5 available pairs (land + animal token).
- 2
Place the terrain tile connected to an existing one and the token on the corresponding terrain. Each ticket allows 1 animal only.
- 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
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.
