C. CARRY OUT A MONEY ACTION

The player may take one of the following actions, when he pays for it.

He can pay for the action with coins or coin tiles in any combination.

The following money actions are possible:

I.	Move
II. Purchase or discard a tile
III.	Expand the water zoo	/

With these actions, the placing rules must also be followed.

Note: On a turn, a player may only take one money action. Thus, in order to make extensive changes in his water zoo, a player may have to use money actions on several turns.

I. Move

A move costs 1 coin, paid from a player’s supply to the bank.

The player moves the top-most animal tile from his depot into his water zoo or he moves one his coworkers.

II.Purchase or discard a tile

For 2 coins, a player can buy a tile from a fellow player or discard the top-most tile from his depot.

➡ Purchase

The player takes the top-most tile from the depot of a fellow player and places it in his own water zoo, and

he pays 1 coin to the fellow player and he pays 1 coin to the bank.

Note: the fellow player may not block the purchase.

➡Discard

The player discards the top-most tile from his depot. He returns it to the box.

He pays 2 coins to the bank.

III. Expand the water zoo

The large expansion board costs 2 coins, which the player pays to the bank. Then, the player adds a large expansion board (with 4 spaces) to his water zoo. This allows him to have 1 additional basin in his water zoo.

Thus, a player can accommodate two additional animal types in its water zoo with two large expansion boards.

Note: the player need not start the additional basin on the expansion board.

The small expansion board costs 1 coin, which the player pays to the bank. Then, the player adds a small expansion board (with 3 spaces) to his water zoo. This does not allow him to add an additional basin.

The player places the expansion board adjacent to his water zoo, either to his original board or to a previously placed expansion board. It is now part of his water zoo.

He must place the expansion board so that it continues at least one row or column of his water zoo.

END OF A ROUND

When each player has taken a delivery truck, the round ends.

The players place the empty delivery trucks in the middle of the table and start a new round with the player who last took a delivery truck starting the new round.

Note: Even if all players but one have taken delivery trucks, this player may continue to take consecutive turns until he finally takes the last delivery truck.
