How to play: First, each player decides to be multiple anthropomorphic animals migrating to a new continent. Then, take turns placing animal tokens on the board to represent towns. Remember, new towns usually come from the last one placed, but there are some exceptions. Each animal token has its own special ability, so use them to your advantage. The game stops when no one can make a proper move. Count the points for each town on the board, and the one with the most points wins. Notes: Make sure you understand the special rules for placing towns. If you're playing the Book II version, get familiar with the new features like Age Cards. Maintenance: Keep the board and tokens in a dry place to prevent damage. If the pieces get dirty, you can gently wipe them with a soft cloth.
