Purpose of the Game
To be the first person to get 10 points.
Preparation
Place the animal reserve sheets forming a grid of 2x2 cards (4x4 animals) in the centre of the table in view of all players.
Simple mode: Place the sheets matching up the exterior edge in the same colour. (Image 1)
Advanced mode: Match the sheets regardless of their colour. (Image 2)
Place the question cards face down beside them. Once done, you're all set to start the fun!
The booklet prints "question letters" here; the rest of the booklet and the other language sections refer to question cards.
How to Play
The person who names the most endangered animals will start the game. When everyone is ready and concentrated, 3 are laid out and the first question card turned over.
Whoever thinks they know the answer says it out loud. If they get it right, they keep one question card as a point. If they get it wrong, they will have to return one of the cards they got earlier.
Whoever wins the previous round will be the one who turns over the next question card this time.
The animal reserve sheets will be changed every 5 questions, following the mode required.
* A condition may not be met or met more than once in advanced mode. If this is not met, the correct answer will be "zero" or "none", while if several conditions are met, only the first answer will be considered valid.
End of the Game
The game ends whenever someone manages to reach 10 points.
