Overview

What ABG knows about this game

In the abstract game Tasso, each player starts the game with the same number of sticks. On a turn, a player lays one of their sticks on the game board or on sticks already present on the game board; whenever a player lays a stick on two sticks already laid, they immediately take another turn. (Note that a stick cannot support more than one other stick.) Whoever first places all of their sticks on the game board wins! Tasso Safari keeps the same gameplay as Tasso, but the action is moved to Africa with sticks of different lengths that represent giraffes, elephants, lions, and zebras. Kilimanjaro and Lake Victoria both make an appearance, offering both beauty and obstacles around which players must maneuver. Can you take your animal sticks to the next level?
