Hello everyone !
Today we're going to talk about Perfect Shot!
Budding photographers, for 2 to 4 players, ages 8 and up, for 20 to 30 minutes, take the best shots to win!
Become the king or queen of the lens and master depth of field!
Each player takes on the role of a photographer trying to capture as many animal photos as possible with their camera and fill as many photo albums as they can, while respecting the album's requirements.
Album requirements can include: different or identical animals, animals from a specific habitat (jungle, ice floe, or mountain), a particular animal, or the Yeti (yes, this strange creature has crashed the party!). Each album awards bonus points when its requirements are met.
To take these photos, you start with a board that displays the different habitats and the animals associated with them. The Yeti is also present but isn't linked to any specific habitat. It acts as a wildcard for habitat requirements. To obtain photo tiles, you must place one of the three landscape tiles in your hand onto the game board without trying to capture it. The animals you wanted to photograph will appear through the holes in the played card.
These holes represent the lenses of your camera. You only need to capture a small piece of an animal to claim your tile. If you are certain you have a complete animal through the hole, you must first announce "Perfect Shot" before placing the tile. If you are correct, you draw a perfect shot tile, with the +2 point side up; otherwise, it will be on its 0 side.
You can only announce a perfect shot twice per game. Don't miss the opportunity to attempt a perfect shot, as these tiles can break ties at the end of the game.
For your photo tiles to count towards points, they must be placed on album cards; otherwise, they are worthless. In turn, the player chooses either to place a landscape card to collect photo tiles or to draw an album card from the face-up cards or the one on the draw pile. Waiting until the last minute to take albums to match our photos isn't always the best solution. As mentioned before, fulfilling the album's requirements earns us extra points (2 to 3 extra per card). But we don't always have the photo tiles we want.
So, filling as many albums as possible without necessarily fulfilling the requirements is a good alternative to still rack up points. The yeti acts as a wildcard for habitat requirements because it doesn't fit into any existing habitat.
However, it earns us 1 point if we manage to fit it entirely into an album, given that it comes in two parts. We also need to have the right parts, because this little trickster doesn't let himself be photographed easily!
Good day and good game ;)
