Rules: Actions

I'm sure this will be rewritten dozens of times, and there will be a sidebar with a short summary of each paragraph, but here is an attempt to write the rules describing the actions which players may take during a turn.

Actions

Both Hunters and Gatherers can explore empty spaces on the board. If they fail to take a tile on their first attempt they may continue their movement (if any remains) and explore another space. They may explore no more than twice and take no more than one tile. Once a tile is taken the turn ends.

To explore a space draw one tile and look at it. Keep it hidden from the other players.

Hunters, when they draw an animal may attempt to kill it. For details read the section on "Hunting". If a hunter draws a plant, they must describe it out loud, for example, "One Nut", and reveal the tile for two seconds. Then place the tile face down. They may then move and explore another space.

When a Gatherer finds a plant they have a few options. The first is to collect it without showing anyone what it was. This may be done of the gatherer had no other tiles, if they only have tiles of that same type, or if they have a pouch (see Equipment).

Another option gatherers have is to exchange one of their already collected tiles for the new one. This exchange is hidden from the other players but must follow the same "only one type" rules as above. This exchange counts as taking a tile and ends the turn.

The last option, which is required if the gatherer cannot take the tile, is to reveal and announce it to all players, and place it face down.

When there are face down tiles on the board hunters may move to the space and attempt a kill. Accidentally attempting to hunt a plant does not end the turn, but does count as one of the player's two explorations.

Gatherers have a couple more options when there are face down tiles. They may collect and/or exchange up to two face down tiles. Attempting to collect an animal by mistake counts as one of the two possible actions, as does trying to collect a different kind of plant without a pouch.

Note that a gatherer may not collect, or attempt to collect, one face down tile and then explore a new space.
