Each player in turn must play a suitable card face-up on the discard pile in the center of the table. A card is suitable if it shows the same animal, or has the same color, as the top card of the discard pile.

The player who first manages to get rid of all his cards wins this round and may put his game piece forward one space on the game board. The game is played over several rounds; the player whose piece first reaches the final space on the game board wins the game.
