Description

Let's travel back 541 million years ago to the Cambrian sea where a variety of new organisms were born. In fact, let's try our hand at making those organisms prosper!

In ????????? (Line Up Cambria), you build a miniature version of the Cambrian sea out of eight cards, trying to score as many points as possible. To set up, shuffle the landscape cards and scoring cards face down, then lay them out in four piles. Choose a first player.

In a round, starting with the first player, each player chooses a pile of cards not in front of themselves, selects a card from it, then adds it to the left or right of all cards they already have in play. Landscape cards are placed horizontally and have two elements on them; scoring cards have one element on them and one of three types of scoring conditions, and they are placed a line vertically (so the scoring condition is present below their line of cards).

Pass the starting marker, then start a new round. After eight rounds, tally your points based on the scoring cards you've collected and how well you've met those conditions. The player with the highest score wins.
