Roll the dice and choose the number that comes up. 1. A fire burns all the area from 8 downwards, killing all the bandicoots 2. Pet cats kill some bandicoots, remove one bandicoot from each area. 3. A fox eats a total of six bandicoots. 4. Rabbits eat all the ground plants, half the bandicoots die. 5. All bandicoots without partners are eaten by owls. 6. A disease kills half the bandicoots in each area.

Each forest area on the board has a number on it. When you begin the game, put this many bandicoot counters into each area.

Each turn, roll a dice, look up the result on the disaster table and remove any bandicoots that die. Roll the dice again and look the result up on the breeding table. Add more bandicoots if you can.

After eight turns, if there are still bandicoots left on the map, the bandicoots have won! If not, the bandicoots have become extinct in this area.

Remember:

Bandicoots cannot be moved from forest to forest.

You cannot fit more bandicoots in a forest area than the area's number, even with excellent breeding.

Only pairs of bandicoots living in the same forest can breed. Single bandicoots cannot breed with bandicoots in other forests.
