The other die, you will use to complete puzzles of nests and luminaire improvement. —description from the designer En la isla de Choros, ubicada en Chile, en la región de Coquimbo, habita una pequeña ave del grupo de los petreles, llamada Yunco. Esta ave de hábitos nocturnos y oceánicos, utiliza la luna y las estrellas para orientar su vuelo y, por lo tanto, se ve gravemente afectada por la contaminación lumínica de las ciudades, lo que provoca choques producto de la desorientación. En este juego ayudarás al Yunco en su vuelo para conseguir comida y evitar chocar con algún obstáculo, para poder volver a la isla y anidar. —description from the designer (Spanish)
