The goal

Have the most points at the end, from your landscapes and your animal cards.

How it plays

  1. 1The central board has 5 spaces of 3 tokens. On your turn take all 3 tokens from one space and place them on your board one at a time.
  2. 2A token goes on an empty space or on top of 1 or 2 tokens, building trees, mountains or buildings. Never underneath, and never on a space with an animal cube.
  3. 3Once per turn you may also take 1 animal card. You can have up to 4 unfinished cards in front of you.
  4. 4Whenever your board matches a card’s pattern, move one of its animal cubes onto your board, as often as you can. When a card’s last cube is placed, it’s done and no longer counts towards the 4.

How you win

When the bag can’t refill the central board, or someone ends a turn with 2 or fewer empty spaces, finish the round so everyone has the same number of turns, then score.

First time?

  • Mountains only score next to another mountain. Buildings only score when surrounded by at least three colours.
  • Use side A of your board for a first game. Water scores for your longest river.
  • Unfinished animal cards still score: once you’ve placed at least one cube, a card scores the highest number showing.
