Overview

What ABG knows about this game

A lion, a crocodile, a gorilla and a rhinoceros meet on the shore of Lake Victoria. The lion roars (as he always has been the king of the animals), the crocodile suggests him to repeat that closer to the water edge, gorilla starts to beat its chest like King Kong and the rhino says "Do recognize my horn as the royal crown or I will have to use it in a different way..." Then they make a deal: the new king will be named the one who gets the biggest support of other animals. Gather the animals (cards in your hand) into the herds (on the table), use their abilities and deploy them in the right combinations to achieve points. Flip them face down (and sometimes face up). Use your memory as much as your tactical and combinatorical reasoning. —description from the publisher
