Overview

In Fauna, 360 animals are waiting to be discovered! How heavy do you think a Tiger is and how tall can a Giraffe get? How long is a Polar Bear‘s tail and where does a Pumpkin Toad actually live? These, and many more questions about animals from all over the world have to be answered as accurately as possible! As you can‘t know everything, there are also points for guesses that are slightly off the mark. But if you risk too much, you‘ll quickly lose some of your chances to guess!

In every round of Fauna, a single animal presents itself by name and picture. Players try to guess the animal's weight, length, height, tail length and - most important - the areas in which the animal lives on the Earth. The early bird gets the worm: an area on the big map or a sector on the scales already occupied by a player token cannot be chosen a second time. When no player wants to set another token the round, ends and the scoring is performed. Tokens on correct spaces get points for the corresponding player, also tokens in the direct neighborhood of correct spaces score points. Tokens not earning points are temporarily out of the game - so risk should be carefully considered. Next round - next animal - starting player changes. The first player who reaches a certain total score wins (normally after 8-12 animals).
