Tornado Alert

From the back of the game box:

Calling all fearless photographers!
We are today heading for Oklahoma City where the first ever Tornado Spotting World Championships are about to begin. Extreme weather is expected, accompanied by even more extreme photographers. Speed, split-second timing, calculated risk-taking and outsmarting the competition are your tickets to victory!

Original version: Object of the game from the first page of rulebook:

The players compete for three rounds then see who, on average, has taken the best tornado photos. The higher the number of points from the photos, the better. The higher the number of card, the more dangerous the photographer's location depicted, so it's important to make the right decisions during the game. At the end of each round, the players determine their average score of the photos taken in their points pile using the averages table. Each round ends when the Game Over card is picked up. After the third round, each player's lowest average score of the three is selected and the player with the highest of these lowest scores is the winner.

Second Edition changes game as follows:

Players no more try to get highest average during three rounds. Instead, they try to get as much points as possible during each round and players can play any number of rounds as well. This makes averages table obsolete in second edition. Some card functions are also streamlined to make game play faster and more intuitive. Rules of the second edition are only in english and finnish.
