== Game Play ==

Pick one of the 16 animal tiles to "move". (See Quick Movement Guide below)

You will be able to collect all tiles matching the color of your animal tile in the destination group, plus the one that you have chosen initially.

Place these tiles on your board. Tiles can be placed in any of the 5 rows BUT must be placed in the left-most available spot.

See Quick Scoring Guide for placement guidance.

Game last for 6 rounds. The player with the highest points wins the game.

== Quick Movement Guide ==

Rabbit moves one area clockwise.

Leopard moves one area anticlockwise.

Eagle moves one area diagonally.

Bear stays in its initial area.

Duck moves clockwise to the next area containing at least one other duck. If there are no other duck on the forest board, it stays in its initial area.

== Quick Scoring Guide ==

The symbols on the left-hand side of the player board tell you how the row(s) are scored and the points are indicated on the right-hand side.

Row 1: '''4''' extra points if this animal matches the '''pair''' ''below'' it (in rows 2 & 3).

Row 2 & 3: Score '''vertical''' pair. '''3''' points for each pair of animals stacked immediately above and below each other.

Row 4: Scores '''same''' animal species. '''1, 2, 5, 9, 14''' points for 1-5 of the same species, respectively.

Row 5: Scores '''different''' species. '''1, 2, 5, 9, 14''' points for 1-5 animals different species, respectively.

Lastly, each '''column''' or '''row''' filled with '''same color''' tokens scores '''5''' points.

== Expansions ==

A token is randomly drawn at the beginning and extra points are earned at the end of the game.

Expansion A - Animal and protected habitat:
7 extra points for players with ''fewest tiles matching the animal or color'' of hexagonal token.

Expansion B - Acrobatic picture:
5 extra points for players who placed the ''animal'' of flower-shaped token ''on the last square of the top row''.

Ugh2000:

On a turn, you roll three dice, with each die face showing a balloon color and a shape, then record the results by circling numbers from the bottom of the column, going up. The highest number you circle in a column equals the points that you score.

Not happy with your results? Then roll again with any number of dice — but you have to roll an additional die as well, which means you'll circle more results on your scoresheet. You can reroll a second time as well to add a fifth die to your results. This (possibly) gives you better control over the results, while helping you ascend the columns more quickly to higher potential scores.

However, at the top of each column is a different colored number that's much lower than the numbers immediately below it. Hit this number, and your balloon's popped because it went too high. What's more, this popping triggers a scoring break that occurs at the end of the round, with everyone scoring based on their current heights in the columns. You want to go high, but don't trigger the break or else your points will plummet right before scoring.

After three breaks, players total their scores to see who wins.
