Animal Realms is a card game that is played over 5 rounds and whoever has the most points at the end of the game wins.
At the start of each round, every player draws randomly seven animal cards. Each player chooses one of their cards as their goal card that shows how many animals they have to catch during a round to score points. The person who resembles an animal the most becomes the starting player.
In a player's turn they have to put one card from their hand face-up in front of them. Each of the seven different animal card has a different card effect so players need to use the cards in their hand cleverly to catch animals of other players or interfere with them.
As an example the tiger can catch all the sheep that has been played before it or if 3 players in a row play a mouse they all get to keep the mouse they've played face down in front of them.
Each animal card has also a point value that is checked during scoring.
