## Description

During their turn, the active player must choose between two actions: Research: Put 2 research pieces on 2 different species tiles on the board, gaining the knowledge of air, land or water habitat. Discover: use the acquired habitat knowledge to place new species tiles on the board, obtaining victory points and evolution, characters and objects cards. Additionally advance the Beagle on its track. The game finishes when the Beagle reaches the last space of its trip, leaving the archipelago through New Zealand. The players score the evolution points according to the final goal card, adding them to the points obtained during the game. The player with more points in the scoring track wins.
