The player who drew the card from the pile gives the first hint (e.g. lives in Africa). If no one guesses, the second (has spots). Still no one knows? So it's time for the third (eats leaves), etc. Each card contains five hints that bring us closer and closer to the given animal. Whoever guesses the fastest will move their pawn forward even a few spaces on the board, but whoever answers incorrectly will go back.
