About Serengeti Sanctuary
Serengeti Sanctuary is a game with a wildlife conservation theme, and features beautifully designed cards with wild animals from the Serengeti and a range of African terrain settings. The players seek to expand their wildlife reserves as successfully as possible. Each turn the players draft cards from the play area following simple rules. They also have park staff members who give extra drafting abilities. The aim is to build sets of animals and therefore accumulate a growing score. Once the drafting is completed, players take turns to choose how many of their cards to play. The score they achieve is added to the victory track, and the points gained that turn are also used to enhance their staff team and gain sanctuary tokens. Players can also use points to hold cards between turns, with the aim of building even better sets. Once a player reaches 50 points or more the game ends, with victory for the highest score. When playing the game in solo mode you use exactly the same rules. The target of 50 points must be achieved in three rounds for a solo victory. Serengeti Sanctuary has many paths to victory, and the outcome is unclear until the last moment. It works as a light game for a wide range of ages with surprising depths and high re-playability. —description from designer
