About Mongoose

A small aggressive deduction game. You have two animals hiding in the bush. You can see everyone else’s animals but not your own! By fighting or cooperating with other animals you can win food and clues as to which animals you have. The winner is the first player to successfully guess both their animals or to accumulate four more food than every other player. —description from the designer
