Two by Two

Players are rescuing pairs of stranded animals in a landscape that is sinking bit by bit. In a turn you place a water tile on a land spot next to a water spot. An animal on this spot is covered and cannot be rescued any more. You score one point for each water tile next to the new water tile and then turn up all animal tiles that touch the new water tile. Then you can use your ark twice, either moving it to an adjacent water spot or to rescue a pair of animals. When the ark sits next to an animal and a second animal of that kind is visible anywhere on the board you take both animals onto your ark. When all animals are rescued or no water tiles are left the winner is the player with the highest score. There is a scoring version for families and one for experienced players.
