← Back to catalogHow to play
Goal
Be the first keeper to finish all three rows or all three columns of your 3×3 enclosure with valid sets.
Players
2–4 keepers, friends or bots. Each keeper starts with 5 tokens.
The jungle path
Seven tiles sit on a shared path.
- The front tile is free.
- Skipping earlier occupied tiles costs 1 token each. Those tokens land on the tiles you skip.
- When you take a tile, you also collect any tokens already banked on it.
Then place that tile in your zoo.
Placing tiles
- Drop your drafted tile into any cell, empty or occupied.
- If you cover a tile, the old one goes to the bottom of the stack.
What counts as a set
A full row (or column) of three tiles is a set if it is one of these:
- Same animals — three tiles showing the same creature (wilds allowed). Three matching honors also count, e.g. three East Winds.
- Suit run — three consecutive values in the same suit, e.g. Bamboo 2–3–4 (wilds allowed).
- All one suit — any three tiles of Circles, Bamboo, or Characters (wilds allowed).
Seasons and flowers are wild and can stand in for any tile in a set. Three wilds count as a set.
Winds and dragons are not wild. They only form sets as matching faces.
Scoring
- Completing a valid row scores +3.
- Completing a valid column scores +3.
- First keeper with all three rows or all three columns valid wins.
