Young naturalists compete to contribute the most to Darwin’s work by cataloging animals and publishing discoveries during the Beagle’s voyage. ()

Gameplay

Score the most points by drafting animal or character tiles from the shared display and placing them into your notebook to trigger bonuses and set up end-game scoring. The tension is timing and denial—take what you need now or let an opponent grab the perfect tile.
