Noah*
The flood is imminent, and Noah needs your help to save as many species as possible. Players start with eight animal cards and must place them on ferries following specific rules regarding weight and gender order. If a player can't legally play a card, they must take back all animals from the ferry Noah is on and play another card. Players can manipulate the game by drawing Noah or sending ferries off to the ark, while certain special animal cards can also provide strategic advantages. The round ends when a player runs out of cards or a fourth ferry is placed, with points awarded based on unplayed cards. The player with the fewest points after three rounds wins.
