Ringakasan peraturan
On Your Turn: 2 Mandatory Actions (Draw or Summon)
1) Draw:
Draw 1 card from the eight face-up cards (replacing cards immediately) or from the top of the deck. (Discard down to 7 cards at the end of your turn.)
2) Summon:
- The cost to summon animals is equal to the card rank, reduced by each adjacent Shared Element and the difference in rank when Ascending the same animal.
- The cost is paid by discarding cards or tokens matching the Element OR Animal icon of the card played.
- When placing cards, you must place them into an empty space or on top of a lower-rank version of the same animal.
- After summoning the animal, gain the matching Animal Token (take from another player if needed).
Element Tokens:
You acquire Element Tokens by playing Animals on top of lower-rank matching Animals (Ascending) OR by covering an existing token on the game board space. If an Element Token is not available, take one from another player.
Scoring Years (Points) ~ Two ways to score during the game:
- When gaining an Animal Token, you gain 1 year per Animal Token you control.
- When Ascending an animal you already control, you gain 1 year per Element Token you control.
End of Game ~ Most Years Wins
When the deck is empty or a player reaches 60 years, it triggers the last round. Each remaining Element Token you control counts as 1 year, and each card in your hand matching an Animal Token you control counts as 1 year.
Ties are broken by the player controlling the current years animal, which for 2025 is the Snake.
Co-op and Solo:
Goal is the fully Ascend all animals to rank 5 before the cards run out.
- You only score at the end of the game for each animal that has reached rank 5, scoring 1 year for each card of that animal on the board.
- You may now move an animal 1 space when playing a new animal in order to optimize the adjacent element discount
- When a rank 5 animal is played, the matching Animal Token is placed onto the card to show it has been completed. That animal may no longer be moved and becomes a barrier.
- BONUS: When successfully Ascending all 12 animals to rank 5, you also count all remaining face up cards and cards remaining in the deck.
