## Description
You know that special touch that turns a standard game into something more competitive? Zooloretto: Iberian Lynx is exactly that. This is a very rare promotional content, originally released at LeiriaCon 2010 and later seen at Spiel 2013, which adds an extra layer of urgency to the base Zooloretto game. The dynamic is simple yet effective: the first player to completely fill their six-space enclosure earns the right to claim the Iberian Lynx tile.

Once you acquire this feline, it stays next to your barn until the end of the match. But don't think it's just a decorative trophy! The Lynx grants a crucial strategic advantage at the most tense moment of the game. Right after the final truck is chosen, and just before everyone starts counting points, the owner of the Lynx can perform one extra money action. It's that golden opportunity to adjust your finances or attempt that final move that could flip the scoreboard. Keep in mind that, even with the bonus, the cost of the action must still be paid normally. It's a small tweak that rewards efficiency in space management, turning the race to fill the enclosure into a frantic competition. If you already love the set collection of Zooloretto, having this Lynx on the table adds that 'first-come, first-served' spice that keeps everyone on their toes.

## FAQ
### Do I need the base game to use this?
Yes, absolutely! This is just an expansion piece; it doesn't work on its own.

### How do I get the Lynx?
Be the first to fill all 6 spaces of your enclosure and the tile is yours!

### Does the Lynx give free money?
Not exactly. It allows you to perform an extra money action, but you still have to pay the cost of that action.

### When does the Lynx action happen?
After the last truck is chosen, but before the final scoring phase.

### Is it hard to find?
Very! It was a promotional item from specific events, making it quite rare.
