Animal Rescue

Players run a busy animal shelter and try to fill pens on their shelter card to score points. Each round the active player rolls dice, selects one, and places the depicted animal into an empty pen in the corresponding color block; white dice act as wilds but cannot place babies. Thoughtful placement can trigger births and other scoring bonuses, and players mark placements with a pencil on their shelter card. The game scales by removing a white die with fewer than five players and continues until shelter cards are filled; the player with the most points wins.
