About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for a savanna adventure with Carcassonne: Safari! In this standalone installment of the acclaimed series, you and your friends embark on a safari to spot as many animals as possible. But beware, they love to hide in the dense bush, the vast savannah, or near watering holes. The mission is clear: be the best wildlife spotter! You can help your buddies dig watering holes, earning bonus points for it, or perhaps take a nap under the shade of a baobab tree and happen upon some critters. It's the fourth title in the 'Carcassonne Around the World' collection, bringing the classic tile-placement mechanic everyone loves, but with an African and animal twist. Perfect for those who enjoy expanding the map and strategically collecting points without much fuss. Ideal for families and casual gamers looking for a light and thematic experience. Fun is guaranteed as you build landscapes and try to spot lions, elephants, and more!
