The six categories are Trees, Edible Plants, Space, Animals, Water, Flowers, Land or any category. You have to name something from the appropriate category beginning with the letter on the square you have landed on. You are not allowed to repeat something that has been used before. In between the letter spaces are alpha nature card spaces, when you land on these you have to answer a question of one of the cards to see if you can advance onto the next letter space. Whenever you answer correctly you move onto the next space, as soon as you are unable to answer a question or name something correctly your turn ends. The winner is the first person to reach the end of the alphabet and name something in the appropriate category.
