Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- action selection — On their turn, players can choose one of three actions: play tiles and house animals, take new cards/tiles, or swap out existing cards/tiles.
- Card Drafting — Players can choose from face-up animal cards or the top card of the deck, and wild cards are also displayed face-up for selection.
- Hand Management — Players have a hand limit of five terrain tiles and three animal cards, discarding excess at the end of their turn.
- Set Collection — Players aim to gather enough blocks of a certain terrain type to match their animal cards and house the animal for points.
- tile laying — Players place down terrain tiles to create an area large enough to house one of their animals. Tiles must be played adjacent to existing tiles and match the color of an adjoining tile by at least one block.
- Variable player powers — Wild cards offer unique abilities like releasing animals, exchanging cards, drawing extra cards, or manipulating tiles.
