On your turn you MUST perform the following actions in this order: 1) Take a Jungle tile from the top of one of the piles, then take all the species tokens of a single color or single type from that same zone 2)Place the Species tokens you have just taken onto your Jungle tiles in your clearing, then lock in any completed tiles by placing them in your jungle. When a player locks in their 9th Jungle tile, the players finish that round and then the game ends. The player with the most points wins.

CHOOSING THE TILE AND SPECIES TOKENS IN ONE ZONE Choose one of the 5 zones on the board and follow these two steps in this order: Take the top Jungle tile from the pile in that zone. You may choose to either: • Place it in one of the spaces in your clearing, which is the area just below your player board (up to a tile limit of 3); • Or return it to the bottom of the pile, if you don’t wish to keep it or already have 3 tiles in your clearing

You use the Species tokens you take (plus those in your reserve, if you have any) to complete the Jungle tiles in your clearing.

IMPORTANT! At the end of your turn, you will only be able to hold 2 Species tokens in your reserve to use in future turns

You can start filling a Jungle tile without having to complete it entirely. Any Species token that has been placed on a Jungle tile remains there for the remainder of the game. The Jungle tiles do not all have the same restrictions. Some of them will accept any species, whereas others will require a particular color or type of species.

If you have completed a Jungle tile, you must move it from your clearing into your Jungle – the area above your player board.

Locked-in tiles are placed down one after the other, from left to right, respecting the placement order shown on your player board, so forming a square of 9 tiles. You can lock in more than one Jungle tile in the same turn. If you do, you can arrange them in the order you wish. You won’t be able to adjust this placement later on. Once you have placed the locked-in tiles in your jungle, check whether you have fulfilled any of the conditions that allow you to take one of the available Bonus tokens (Protected Area and Diversity).

turn end If you have more Species tokens than you can hold in your reserve (limit of 2), you must discard the remainder, putting them back in the bag. How you manage your reserve is up to you; you can discard the tokens you reserved in previous rounds in order to keep the tokens you took this turn, if you so wish. At the end of each player’s turn, if one of the zones on the main board has run out of Species tokens, players refill the empty spaces in all zones with tokens taken at random from the bag. REMINDER: The player who takes the last Species token from a zone can choose to immediately exchange a Species token they have just taken, or one from their reserve, with any Species token on the main board.

end of game scoring When a player locks in their 9th Jungle tile, it triggers the end of the game. Players continue to play until it comes back to the player with the Binoculars token, so that everyone has played the same number of turns. Each player then counts up their points. 1 The players proceed tile by tile Each Jungle tile locked into the player’s jungle earns them the points indicated on that tile.

Each Species token corresponding to the player’s totem animal that has been placed on a locked-in tile earns 1 additional point for that tile.

The Protected Area tokens allow the player to double or triple their points for the tile on which they are placed (including the totem animal points). Tiles that are still in your clearing do not count towards your score. 2 The Diversity token gives a player 2 points for each tile placed after it in the placement order The player who has gained the most points wins the game. If there is a tie, the players share the victory
