nimalia
Create the best animal sanctuary. Try to build harmony between species and biomes, even if this means sacrificing parts of your sanctuary by covering them with new ones, always more beautiful…
The goal of Nimalia is to conceive the best Animal Sanctuary along 5 rounds.
Each and every turn, players will have to select the animal territories they are going to place, by drafting them (picking a card among their hand of 3 cards, and passing along the rest of them).
Each card they place will have to cover a part of their existing animal reserve.
At the end of each round, points will be allocated to players regarding how efficiently they fulfilled objectives. Objective cards will be randomly chosen for each game. Every round will be considering only some of those objectives. So players will have to design their animal sanctuary regarding the ongoing objectives, but also anticipating the next upcoming objectives.
Of course, at the end of the 5 rounds, the player that earned the more points will win the game.

The game lasts 5 rounds, and each round comprises 3 phases:
- • Build Your Reserve
- • Calculate Your Points
- • Finish the Round
Build Reserve
At the beginning of each round, each player draws 3 Animal cards. Then, you simultaneously place one of these cards in front of you, to create and modify your reserve.
Next, you pass the 2 remaining cards to your left neighbor (in rounds 1, 3, and 5) or your right neighbor (in rounds 2 and 4). Repeat this procedure with the 2 cards you just received from your neighbor, and then place the final card.
When you modify your reserve, you must respect the following rules:
- • Each card you place must cover at least one space of your existing reserve (this does not apply to the very first card you place).
- • The entirety of your reserve must fit within a 6-space×6-space area.
- • You are not allowed to tuck a card under cards already in your reserve.
Calculate Points
After placing all three cards, everyone scores their points by moving their tokens on the score track. You score points according to the different objective cards that are in effect this round (as indicated by the Round card).
- • Round 1: the blue and green cards.
- • Round 2: the green and yellow cards.
- • Round 3: the blue and red cards.
- • Round 4: the green, yellow and red cards.
- • Round 5: the blue, red and yellow cards.
If there is a tie on a red objective, all of the tied players receive (or lose) the points! If the tie is for 1st place, 2nd place is not awarded.
Finish Round
If this was not the 5th round, advance the Round Counter token to the number of the next round, and start a new round. Don’t forget to flip the round Counter token to know in which direction you should pass your cards this round. Otherwise, this is the end of the game (see other side).
End of the game
At the end of the 5th round, the player with the most points wins. If it’s a tie, the tied player with the most animals of the same type in their reserve wins.
