This 12 tiles expansion contains 6 special park tiles and 6 new goal tiles. The 6 DOUBLE LANDSCAPE park tiles don't bring victory points themselves, but contain 2 landscape types to connect to each adjacent tile. This makes it even possible to cross landscape type areas, to fulfill the demands of your animals better. The 6 goal tiles add variety to the YEARLY GOALS. It brings you more victory points if you beat your opponents by: Getting a good variation in animal types. Meeting other rangers in the market. Pleasing your visitors with watchtowers, routes and views. Creating the most mysterious secret spot. Building spots where animals/visitors can move in each direction. Being close to a market corner. —description from the designer
