I really liked your playthrough. I saw a mistake that you did and points it out for the future. In about 59:00 Nick plays the Sun Bear. His power Action Assosiation is after finishing the Animals action.That means that you first finish the animal action and move the animal card to 1. Then you do the Association action which will be at 3, not 2. Also, after that the Association action will move to 1. But a great playthrough. I keep telling people the game isn't as long as they say if you know what you're doing.

He needed 7 to count as 8.

Hey guys! Great playthrough and helped my figure out some of the things we've been doing wrong. However, isn't it illegal to up your action to more than 5? I see in the last turn that it's upgraded to 7 with 2 x tokens, but in my (Dutch) rulebook it says "A power can never be more than 5". (Page 8, first paragraph under "the 5 action cards")
@TheBrothersMurph

I just got the game recently. In the English rulebook, also page 8, it says: "You can use as many X-tokens as you like in one action. With some actions, however, a strength greater than 5 no longer improves the action." So they might have clarified the rules in a newer version of the rulebook, but it definitely sounds like X > 5 is allowed. I think one of the sponsor cards I saw had a level of 6, so I suspect the way they played was correct.

I take it you can't have more animals in play than you have enclosures correct? You can't have more than one animal in the same enclosure? So if you had for example three animals then you would have to have three enclosures and if you wanted to play more animals you would therefore have to build more enclosures first? Oh nvm? So long as an enclosure has enough space you can have multiple animals. Like later in the game you had multiple birds in your five enclosure space. If you want to put multiple animals into the same enclosure you have to put those cubes that correspond with your color to represent that you have multiple animals in there?
