Animalia: Preventing Extinction

You are a team of researchers working for the Institute for Wildlife Conservation(IWC), and you are ready to go to the ends of the earth to halt the extinction of various species. As representatives of the IWC, you will go on missions to research and protect endangered fauna.
In this cooperative trick-taking card game you will have to communicate well and work
together as a team. Each round consists of a series of 8 turns for each player, called tricks.
The first Animal card played in a trick determines that trick’s color. The other players must
follow suit by playing an Animal card of the same color, if possible. Whoever plays the
highest-valued card in a trick’s color wins that trick. When all tricks are played, each player
with one or more Mission cards must fulfill their mission(s) by collecting (in their trick pile) all
of the Animal cards listed on their Mission card(s). If even one of the missions has not been
successfully completed, the players immediately lose the game. However, if all players’
Mission cards have been successfully completed, players continue on to the next round.
