01 / THE GUIDE
Map Shape Analysis
Before placing any animals, sketch the outline of the generated hex grid. Compare this shape to previous maps to see how terrain distribution influences your expansion routes.
- Observe the shape of each generated map before placing animals to plan efficient routes.
- Compare early expansions with later ones to notice how tile variety affects difficulty.

Ability Synergy Review
List each animal’s ability and note situations where two abilities could be combined. Observing these synergies can reveal efficient ways to bypass obstacles.
- Try pairing animals whose abilities complement each other to clear complex terrain.
- Note which animals appear after certain expansions to plan future moves.
03 / THE GUIDE
Tile Frequency Tracking
Record how often each of the nine tile types appears across several sessions. Patterns may emerge that help you anticipate which obstacles will dominate a given map.
- Identify tile patterns early to anticipate where obstacles will appear.
- Compare maps from different sessions to see how tile variety changes the puzzle flow.

Reward Outcome Log
After claiming a Point of Interest, write down the reward received. Over time, this log highlights which points tend to yield special animals versus standard ones.
- Prioritize Points of Interest that are harder to reach to pursue their rewards.
- Track which rewards you receive to understand which animals are most beneficial.
