Animals can also sometimes suppress other animals, turning them from Healthy to Endangered, or Endangered to Extinct. Event cards can be powerful one-time effects or ongoing effects that last throughout the round.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlay proceeds clockwise around the table in like fashion until every player has passed consecutively or when any one player has passed with an empty hand.
