How does the game work?
Start by choosing a player. The opponent draws a Game Card without showing it. The active player asks questions one at a time, using a Guider Tile for each question. Tiles prompt queries like “Where does this animal live?” or “Does it have four legs?” After each question, the opponent answers. The player may guess the animal at any point. If correct, they keep the card; if not, they discard it. The first to collect 7 Game Cards wins.
