Game Play

The game is divided into 3 phases:

1. Assembling the Tribe - reveal the top four cards in your desk and arrange them to line up the frames.

• Player gains the resources in the completed frames.
• Resources are gained from left to right, top to bottom.

If the closed box contains an arrow, you must pay the resources on the left to gain the benefit on the right

2. Attracting new apes - choose from one of your four discs to declare which primate you would like to gain. 3 resources for a level 1 card and 6 for a level 2 card.

• Blue Flowers for Mandrill (ability: victory points)
• Orange Fruits for Orangutan (ability: energy)
• Black Seeds for Gorilla (ability: rage; see below for explanation)
• Any sources of the same type for Chimpanzee (ability: copying)

Note that the primate's ability is not their only ability. It simply means it is their dominant ability.

Optional: Spend 2 resources of the same kind to also gain the bonuses of ONE of your NEIGHBORING players

3. Resting

• Discard played cards.
• Return disc to face down position.
