Play 1 Project

If you have a Project in your hand and the strength of your Projects action is at least as high as the level of the tile, place the tile on your Zoo map (on an empty space next to either another tile or your zoo entrance).

If it is a Release into the wild Project, place the tile on top of an Animal with the matching icon instead. The Animal (and its icons and points) are then covered and no longer count as being “in your zoo”.

If placing the tile triggers effects (one-time effects, ongoing effects, or placement bonuses on the Zoo map), you may perform them in any order.

EXAMPLE – PLAYING A PROJECT: Since the Herpetologist is a level-4 Project, you must perform a Projects action with strength 4 or more to play it into your zoo. You place the Herpetologist on an empty space adjacent to the entrance.

The Herpetologist has an ongoing effect that is triggered whenever you play a reptile icon into your zoo. Because the Herpetologist itself has a reptile icon, you immediately trigger its effect for the first time and take any 1 tile from the display into your hand.
