Earth: Animal Kingdom

Immediately after you use a Leaf—by placing it on the Fauna Board or discarding it—you may activate your Animal abilities. Activation is optional, and you must be able to meet an ability’s requirements in full (pp. 4, 12).

Place it on a card in your tableau, following any placement condition and movement requirements on its card; if neither restricts placement, any card is allowed. This initial placement counts as one movement (p. 5).

“Move exactly” requires the full number of moves—partial movement isn’t allowed. During one activation, an Animeeple can’t backtrack, pass through, or end on a card it occupied earlier in that activation, including its starting card (pp. 6, 8).

It activates for all players when the active-player token passes from the last player in turn order to the starting player. Each player resolves it independently and may forgo the effect if they lack the requirements or choose not to use it (p. 9).

No. Resources placed in an Animal’s storage area or on your Island stay there permanently and can’t be spent, converted, or moved back to your tableau (p. 9).
