Noah
It’s time to get the animals on board the small arks leading them to the big ark, which is waiting for them out at sea. But the task isn’t easy: the arks can only hold so much weight before capsizing, and the gender of the animals needs to be taken into account.
Noah has asked you for help to save as many animals as possible… But only the best among you will be saved!

Rules summary
Goal of the game: Have the lowest points after three rounds; alternatively the game ends someone scores 26+ points
Round goal: Empty your hand of point animals(ones with the water drop symbols)
Cards: The cards have an image of an animal, their gender, weight, special abilities and point value(if any) listed
Player turn:
- First, play an animal card to ark the Noah marker is on as per the rules of card placement(below)
- Then move Noah according to the symbol in the top middle of the card
- If you play an animal of the same species as the top-most card on your ark, immediately take another turn after moving Noah
Rules for card placement:
- Cards placed on arks must either all be of the matching gender or alternate back and forth
- All cards have a number printed on them indicating their weight, ranging from 0 to 10.
- The Arks have a typical weight limit of 21, unless modified by the wood pecker card(which lowers the weight limit to 13)
- The Ark departs when it reaches its EXACT weight limit, and those cards are discarded.
- You get the bonus of giving away one card to an opponent per ark that has been completed this round.
- If you are unable to play a card, you must instead take all the cards from that Ark into your hand, then play a card onto that Ark.
- The round ends when a player has emptied their hand of cards and points are calculated by how many water drop symbols are on cards remaining in a players' hand
