## Description
Kariba: Chameleon Promo Card is the add‑on every Kariba fan will want to grab. This promo card, exclusive to the Brazilian edition, slips into your collection as a real chameleon: it can replace any animal you already have on the board, in any situation. The trick is that, even though it’s a wildcard, it only counts for 1 point at the end of the game – no huge bonus, but enough to give you that unexpected twist. If you buy the card from the table along with other animals, it doesn’t go back to your hand after being played; it simply stays in your scoring area. That makes the Chameleon more of a surprise element than an attack tool, keeping the game balanced. Kariba is a card game set in Africa where players collect animals and earn points by assembling sets. The game is simple, quick, and great for 2‑4 players looking for fun in just a few minutes. The promo card adds a fun twist and is perfect for those who already own the base and want to spice up the game without changing the core mechanics. If you don’t yet have the Brazilian edition, it’s worth checking out because the Chameleon brings a light strategic layer and an extra flair to your deck. In short, the promo card is a fun, versatile, and easy‑to‑use bonus that can shift the course of a match without complicating the game’s logic.
