← All Dominant Species questions

If two animals tie for the most matching elements on a tile, who dominates, and does the food chain break the tie?

The rulebook says a tie means no one dominates, and names the food chain only for scoring and final ties.

Nobody dominates. A tie for most matching elements gives no cone, and the food chain does not break it. The food chain only breaks ties in species counts when a tile is scored in Domination, and in the final victory. The Survival card also goes to no one on a tie.
