About the game
What you do in a play session
Looking for that perfect game to gather the crew without spending half an hour explaining complex rules? Safari no Eden is your answer! This is a fast-paced card game where everyone competes to build the best animal combinations. The vibe is all about exploration and fun, reminiscent of discovering wildlife in a paradisiacal garden.
The gameplay is very straightforward: at the start of each round, players receive 9 cards. On your turn, things move quickly: you draw a card, decide your move—which could be forming pairs, families, or even sets of the same species—and then discard one card. And here is a fun twist: you can also interact with others by adding a card to another player's set.
A round ends when a player successfully empties their hand. That's when the scoring kicks in! You sum up the points from the combinations you've laid down and even grab a 1-point bonus for being the first to finish the round. The game continues through multiple rounds until someone hits the 30-point mark. It is a high-tempo experience, perfect for those who love set collection and need to manage their hand effectively to stay ahead. If you want something light, supporting 2 to 8 players, and suitable for both kids and friends looking for a good laugh, Safari no Eden belongs on your shelf!
