duck! duck! SAFARI! (2009)

About this game

Five games in one - this game uses rubber ducky safari animals, a double-sided board, animal tiles, and some cards. The game provides rules for: Safari Sprint - Pick your ducky and let the races begin! Hi-Lo Hijinks - Play a card on the pile - if it's a match, you're good, but if it isn't, you take the whole pile! Every card you take counts against you, unless you have the most. So if you've got to take cards, go for broke! Animal Hunt - An exciting kids game that captures the spirit of the classics "Concentration" and "Go Fish". Savannah - Help the animals spread over the savannah in this puzzling game of matching sets. Find the unplayable spaces to earn a bonus. Once the savannah is full, earn even more points clearing it again! Herds - Everybody likes to hang out with their friends. In the animal world, that means making herds! This rummy-style game offers all kinds of twists!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.5/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 6 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
