	Description Edit \| History

Contents: 100 animal cards with 5 different animals, each in 5 different colors.

Short description: The players try to get rid of their animal cards. They add the cards to the tableau in rows and columns building sets of matching colors or animals. A set contains a maximum of 5 cards. A player adding the fourth or the fifth card (-> Big Five) to a set is given a bonus (discarding card(s)). The first player to have no cards left on his pile wins the game.
