Overview
What ABG knows about this game
Kimaloé is the 3rd game from Gameworks Sàrl, after Animalia and Jamaica. As its two predecessors, it is a contract game, this time designed for the Swiss NGO Terre des Hommes and with Children's Rights as background theme. Kimaloé is a family-oriented game with a flavor of majority and a twist in the scoring system, each player having to manage two scoring pawns that can't be too far away from each other at any given time. Thanks to that little twist, winning the game is more challenging that might appear at first sight. Release date is 20th November 2008 during the Universal Children's Day.
