Capturing Tiles and Getting Points
The goal of the game is to capture the
opponent’s tiles and neutral tiles. Each
character must follow specific rules:
• The lumberjack can capture only trees.
• The hunter can capture all of the animals (bear,
fox, pheasant, and duck), but only in the direction

dirt paths in the middle of each side) according to

the final point calculation.

At the end of the game, each player adds up all
the points for his or her tiles. These are the point
