Overview

What ABG knows about this game

Ride a raft down the wildest river of the savannah. Snapshot your favorite animals – but try to avoid those you dislike! Watch out – SPLASH, a whirlpool! Everything is going so fast! Safari Splash! is a game for 2-6 players of ages 8+, that plays in just 90 seconds. At the beginning of the game each player gets a reminder card and a scoring card (there are 4 different levels of scoring, of increasing complexity). The 120 safari cards are randomized and placed face down in a disorganized pile, within the reach of all players. The scoring card serves as the starting point of each player's river, and also depicts the preferred (and maybe disliked) animal(s) for the player. The game is played in real time (it counts with an app support) and players will be taking face down cards from the safari pile, flipping them over, and adding them to their river. The deal is that each safari card back depicts 3 animals, but only 2 of them are present on the card front. So players need to select the safari cards carefully, and then place them in their area so that they form a continuous river. When a player takes and flips a card containing a whirlpool, they shout "SPLASH!" and each player gives the safari card they're holding to the player to their left. Once the time is up, players verify the integrity of their river, and then count points according to their scoring card. The player with the most points makes a big splash and wins the game! Safari Splash! has different sets of victory conditions so it is playable by a wide range of ages. —description from the publisher
