There are four large landscape panels (mountains, forest, field/meadow, reed bed/pond) with matching animal and plant pictures for insertion.
Depending on your skill you can play different levels.
For beginners:
a) Guess animals and plants!
The game master shows an animal or plant card. The first child to name it wins the card. The child with most cards at the end wins.
b) Where do animals live?
Every player gets a landscape panel. The game master draws one of the animal or plant cards and shows it. The player with the landscape that fits the animal has to demand the card. If he is right, he gets it, otherwise he has to give it back. The player that first finishes his 8 cards wins the game.
For advanced players:
a) Where does the animal live?
It is played like the beginners "guess the animals" but this time the player needs to name the animal/plant and the landscape.
b) It is played like the beginners "Where do animals live" but every wrong answer deducts a point.
For experts:
Every player chooses a landscape panel. The game master shuffles all cards and chooses one. The player with the fitting landscape now demands the card, but only gets it if she knows the name of the animal, if it fits to her landscape panel and if she can tell a scientific explanation like "The viperine snake is harmless and non-venomous."
For mathematicians:
This time it is not played with the cards but with the puzzle parts that are punched out of the landscape panels. Every player has his own landscape panel. The game master gets all the puzzle pieces. Every puzzle piece has got a mathematical calculation on it. Now the game master chooses a puzzle part and reads the mathimatical calculation. The player that can tell the answer and finds the number that fits on his landscape panel wins the puzzle part. Winner is who finishes his landscape first.
