Animal Cards

 These represent newly discovered species encountered during your expedition.

 The game's animals are distributed in four categories (X4, X3, X2, and X1), based on the rarity of these creatures and their value. They can be found in one of the four regions of the board; some species can be found in all regions, while others are endemic. Observe the reference on the cards — for example, an animal with references A4 and D4 can be found in regions A and D and has a lower value. 

Crypto-animals

Ordinary animals

Ordinary animals

 These are supposedly extinct animals and can be identified by the "1" indicator, for example A1 or D1. Finding them is the game's greatest challenge, as they are in remote and dangerous places, and the opportunities to find one are minimal — but their value is priceless. Nothing can make you more famous in the scientific community! 

Turn control
