Goal of the game: Have the lowest points after three rounds; alternatively the game ends someone scores 26+ points

Round goal: Empty your hand of point animals(ones with the water drop symbols)

Cards: The cards have an image of an animal, their gender, weight, special abilities and point value(if any) listed

Player turn:

• First, play an animal card to ark the Noah marker is on as per the rules of card placement(below)
• Then move Noah according to the symbol in the top middle of the card
• If you play an animal of the same species as the top-most card on your ark, immediately take another turn after moving Noah

Rules for card placement:

• Cards placed on arks must either all be of the matching gender or alternate back and forth
• All cards have a number printed on them indicating their weight, ranging from 0 to 10.
• The Arks have a typical weight limit of 21, unless modified by the wood pecker card(which lowers the weight limit to 13)
• The Ark departs when it reaches its EXACT weight limit, and those cards are discarded.
  • You get the bonus of giving away one card to an opponent per ark that has been completed this round.
• If you are unable to play a card, you must instead take all the cards from that Ark into your hand, then play a card onto that Ark.

• The round ends when a player has emptied their hand of cards and points are calculated by how many water drop symbols are on cards remaining in a players' hand
