About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a visual and strategic immersion into the African savannah with WILD: Serengeti! This game transports you to the vast plains, where you'll assemble stunning landscapes and collect unique moments. The task is to complete Scene Cards by replicating animal patterns on the main board. To achieve this, you'll use action drafting and worker placement mechanics, moving and positioning the animals with precision. Each completed scene rewards you with Icons, granting continuous benefits, or Rewards, which can be victory points or valuable resources. The artwork is breathtaking, and the 3D components, including adorable animal 'animeeples', add a special touch to the experience. WILD: Serengeti is a cooperative game that can also be played solo, perfect for those who enjoy strategic challenges with a puzzle and set-collection twist. Building your game 'engine' happens organically as you gain abilities and resources, making each game a new adventure. It's a great choice for fans of animal-themed games with high-quality production that makes you feel like you're right there in the wild.
