two quick questions

[Ningauble]

Can someone explain the animal card to me? Is it just that it's usually cost prohibitted because I don't seem to be able to ever put down more than 1 or 2 animals per break cycle? Or is that actually a rule in the game?

Also are the cards accurate to the phsyical edition? Twice now I've been thrown off by the 'terrain' requirements of animals that can go into unique enclosures...

You can play at most 2 animals per animals action. There's no reason you couldn't take the animals action multiple times per break cycle, but you're usually limited by money and/or how fast you can build enclosures.

Cards are almost identical (Mascot Statue got renamed to Victory Column, and Arcade I think is online exclusive); to my knowledge animals are the same. If putting animals in special enclosures, the special enclosure does need to satisfy any terrain requirements, which is a commonly-missed rule.

Thanks! I think the smallness of the 'terrain' icons on the cards is probably going to be a bit of a pet peeve for me... why not just have it be a clearer icon on the left - considering they're also ... counted for circular icons... or a hex and a circle icon ... but I DIGRESS. Thank you for the tips!

There is a difference between the requirements on the left side of the card, and the terrain constrictions.

When an effect lets you negate the requirements ( Research Map, Camougflage animal or the special CP track token) you still have to abide by the terrain constrictions.

I suppose the rationale is that the animals need that type of terrain in order to feel at home.
