Players alternatively place one token of their color on the board

The tokens you place will form "species", which can devour each other following the order of the food chain displayed around the board

When a token you place completes a shape, if it forms a species touching an opponent species directly following it in the food chain, the tokens of this "prey" species are devoured, and removed from the board.

sample terminology starting at the top:

 solo eats 4line
 4line eats star
 star eats diamond
 diamond eats snake
 snake eats curl
 curl eats hook
 hook eats thumb
 thumb eats tri
 tri eats 3line
 3line eats pair
 pair eats solo

The first player having devoured 20 of his opponent's tokens wins the game.

Another victory condition is to be unable to place a token (which means you managed to occupy the ecosystem with species of your color).

Remarks :

• You may devour several instances of a same species at once, if the opportunity occurs

• A species may arise near one of its predators without risks. Prédation action only occurs when a token is placed

• You can NOT create a species with a group of more than 4 tokens. Consequently, managing to own territoiry will limit your possible moves
