## Description
Get ready for an electrifying night in the Kalahari with Scavengers: A Kavango Game! The sun is setting, and the cries of the scavengers echo in the air, signaling that the scramble for food has begun. In this fast-paced, bluffing card game, you and your friends (2 to 5 players) become hungry scavengers, competing for scraps from a carcass. The game unfolds over three dramatic phases—dusk, midnight, and dawn—each bringing a new hand of cards and five feeding rounds. The value of the food increases as the night progresses, intensifying the competition. Use your action cards wisely to turn the tables, making even the underdog an unexpected winner. But beware of the lion! He can scare away your scavengers and steal the coveted meal. With a playtime of 20 to 30 minutes and easy-to-learn rules, Scavengers is perfect for group game nights or family holidays, offering plenty of interaction and fun in a compact box. If you enjoy games like Scout or Skull King, but with the bonus of beautiful animal illustrations, this one's for you!
