The floodwaters are rising and the animals need to board the ark!
In this deceptively simple game, players move their arks around a steadily deteriorating landscape, matching pairs to rescue stranded animals. When the game ends, the rarer the pair, the higher they score.

Features
- Accessible Gameplay - Each turn consists of two actions: placing a water token and moving your ark to rescue an animal pair.
- Variable Scoring- Each player has three species that they receive double points for and must protect at all costs.
- Variable and Deteriorating Landscape - The random placement of the animals and the player-determined water placement keep the game fresh and exciting time after time.
- Agonizing Decisions - Do you place your water token to maximize your points, improve your ark's mobility, deny your opponent, or protect the animals you've already rescued? Decisions such as these provide the foundation for rich and compelling gameplay.
- Appropriate for Alternative Retail Channels- A worthy contender in the hobby games market, the game's popular theme also happens to be well-suited to specialist distribution in the environmental and religious markets.
