Ark
Load animals and supplies onto the ark before the rain arrives, keeping predators away from prey and animals from different climates apart. Balance the ark by managing the weight on each side, while placing cards and drafting from the available supply. Assign animal tokens to scoring categories based on the animals and provisions loaded. The game ends when the fifth rain card is drawn, after which players score category tokens and bonuses for majorities.

Garfield2.0 46 Not sure if I should keep this. It's only about cards you draw and if you can place them or not? Too complicated rules for what it is.
