Time to head to the Amazon to take photos of animals. Get enough pics, and you can place your work in a magazine — but if someone else gets there first, you'll need more pics to impress a jaded editor.
To set up Amazonia Park, each player takes a face-down "morning" animal tile from the stack. On a turn, you either place your tile on an empty space on the game board, or publish an article. After placing a tile, "look" in all four orthogonal directions from that space, and take picture tokens from the reserve based on the animals in your line of sight. (Animal tiles, included those printed on the game board, feature 1-3 camera symbols, and you take as many picture tokens as cameras.) End your turn by drawing a new tile, with evening tiles becoming available after the morning tiles run out.
To publish an article, choose an available magazine, then turn in as many animal tokens as required, e.g. five capybara tokens for the first article in the purple magazine. You can replace a missing token with a pair of another animal tokens, and you can do this multiple times. (Editors sometimes prefer quantity over quality, after all.) The next article in the purple magazine will require seven tokens, then nine, then eleven. The first article in the grey magazine requires any seven animal tokens. Later magazines include bonuses for those who are late to publication.
The first player to place an article in each of the six magazines wins. If the tile supply runs out before this happens, whoever has the most articles wins, with remaining animal tokens being a tiebreaker.
