Safari (2000)

About this game

In Safari, players Ages 5 and up visit watering holes and attempt to collect a set of wooden animals such as giraffes, elephants, chimpanzees, zebras, lions and hippopotamuses. A special die is rolled showing 1 - 4 dots or a watering hole symbol. If a player arrives on an animal he already has, he gets nothing. At the watering hole players must release an animal. Another symbol permits a player to take any animal, including stealing from other players.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.3/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 3 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
