At end of the rule 10.d)
"For example, there are blue and yellow "SPECIE" pieces in a row, and the player puts a blue "SPECIE" piece to the same row next to the yellow one, so there are blue-yellow-blue "SPECIE" pieces in a row, the yellow one has to be moved."

SHOULD BE

For example, there are blue and yellow "SPECIE" pieces in a row, and the player puts a blue "SPECIE" piece to the same row next to the yellow one, so there are blue-yellow-blue "SPECIE" pieces in a row, the yellow one can to be moved.

So "has" should be "can".

Map, cards and piece sizes.

Well, we did not measure our examle card sizes, but you can use standard card size 3.5x2.5 inches and for example glue our example cards on them, if you want. Or resize them.

Map (appendix2.pdf) should be printed to A3 or bigger paper.

"WASTED AREA" pieces are too big if rules are printed to A4, so... you can cut them or use smaller paper.

Actually, we do not suggest to print other appendices except number 2. (the map) to save our precious resources; paper and ink. It is much easier to steal plastic wooden pieces from other board games. We noticed also that fake or real coins work well as "WASTED AREA" pieces.

And even more, it is not necessary even to print and colour the map, if you can find correct size hexagonal grids for the first game tests, for example from other board games. For example "Mole in the Hole" has a hexagonal map, which is good at least for a 2 players game.
