PLAYED FOR YOU

Noah

Two elephants fill a boat

It has happened! The Flood has started and the animals must be loaded into boats that will take them to the Ark which must be filled in three rounds.

The game comprises eight boats and 47 animals. The boat cards show the maximum possible weight they can hold, the animal cards show weight, sex, characterizations, special abilities and penalty points for not saving this animal.

Five boats are placed next to the landing stages on the board; Noah is placed randomly in one of them; then one animal is placed next to each boat and each player is dealt eight animal cards. In your turn you play one animal card next to the boat holding Noah and then move Noah according to the card you played. In each boat you can place only male animals or only female animals or only pairs if animals and you must adhere to the weight limit. If you cannot play a correct card, you must take all animals cards next a boat and then play a card. When you played a female, Noah goes into one of the neighboring boats; if you played a male Noah moves to one of the two opposite boats. When you add an animal of the same kind you can do another complete turn. When a boat is full it leaves; a new one is placed and all players hand on cards to the left. When someone is out of cards or the boats are all used you score penalty points for animals in hand. After three such rounds you win with fewest points.

Enchanting animal drawings, simple mechanisms and a little bit of tactic, when you want to get rid of your animals in an optimum way; if you hold both elephants it gets difficult, but then there are the special abilities …
