Cardline: Animals 2

Cardline: Animals 2 is a card game played with 110 cards. It introduces new amazing tropical animals and extinct animals (dodo, for example). The game can be combined with Cardline: Animals and Cardline: Dinosaurs.

Both sides of each card depict an animal, its name and its class (amphibian, mammal, etc.), while its average length, weight and lifespan are printed on only one side of the card. For each game, players decide before playing whether they’re comparing animal lengths, weights or lifespans.

At the start of the game, each player places a number of animal cards on the table in front of them with the characteristics hidden. One card is placed in the centre of the table with its characteristics revealed. Players then take turns placing a card from their tableau in a row on the table; a player can place a card between any two other cards. After placing the card, the player reveals the characteristics on it. If the card was placed correctly – that is, with the particular characteristic in numerical order compared to all other cards on the table – the card stays in place; otherwise the card is removed from play and the player takes another card from the deck and adds it to their tableau.

The first player to get rid of all their cards by placing them correctly, wins. If multiple players go out in the same round, then everyone else is eliminated from play and each of those players are dealt one more card for another round of play. If only one player has no cards after a bonus round, they win; otherwise play continues until a single player goes out.
