Tembo (2017)

About this game

Description from the publisher: It is one of the Earth's most breathtaking natural spectacles! Every year millions of gnus, zebras and antelopes pass the Mara River in Africa. Water means life — but it also holds danger as crocodiles and lions lie in wait. What luck that there are tembos (elephants) who will help the animals to get safely to the other shore. Tembo is an awesome game, as exciting and wonderful as Africa itself!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.4/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
