About the game

What you do in a play session

Hey board game fans! Check out this promo piece that supercharges 'Savannah Tails' with two brand-new critters: elephants and zebras (which are magical and colorful here!). This beauty was included for those who pre-ordered the game or snagged it at Essen in 2009. The story behind it is pretty cool: this tile was created as a prize for a charity auction. The winner, Aaron Cappochi, not only chose the animals to be included in the game (elephants and zebras, got it?), but also lent a hand in designing their in-game effect. It was a rush to get everything ready for Essen, and Aaron did a fantastic job collaborating. If you get tripped up by an elephant, blame him, okay? This expansion adds an extra dynamic for those who already enjoy the base game, introducing more strategy and a touch of luck with the new animal abilities. Get ready for more challenges and fun on the savannah!
