## Description
In String Safari, you step into the shoes of a dedicated zoologist, exploring the vast African plains to uncover the mysteries of wildlife. Elephants, lions, zebras, and giraffes are just some of the animals you'll encounter and aim to study. The goal is to gather as much information as possible about these creatures by completing research objectives before your fellow zoologists do. To achieve this, you need to 'capture' animals within your study area, defined by a string (hence the game's name!). Each animal possesses unique attributes, and the savanna's terrain can either aid or hinder your plans. With each game, the board is assembled differently using modular tiles, ensuring the savanna is never the same. Strategic tile placement is key to expanding your reach and enclosing the right animals. Whoever completes the most research on the correct animals claims scientific glory! The game also includes special rules so that even younger players can enjoy exploring the savanna.
