The objective is to absorb all the pieces, by "eating" them, until only one remains.
There are three basic types of pieces: Animal, Vegetable, and Mineral. The general rule is: - Animal eats Vegetable.
- Vegetable absorbs Mineral.
- Mineral buries Animal.
There are special types of each Animal, Vegetable, and Mineral, based on what they'll eat.
Animals: - Herbivore (Sheep) eats only Vegetables
- Carnivore (Panther) eats only Animals
- Omnivore (Bear) eats Animals and Vegetables
Vegetables: - Flower (Yellow Daisy) absorbs only Minerals
- Moss (Hanging Moss) absorbs only Vegetables
- Weed (Pink Clover) absorbs Vegetables and Minerals
Minerals: - Rock (Boulder) buries only Animals
- Rust (Rusty Chain) corrodes only Minerals
- Dirt (Dirt Mound) buries Minerals and Animals
