Description
In this geometrical racing game players maneuver teams of kangaroos jumping around a Billabong ("a dead-end channel extending from the stream of a river," a term used in Australia). The board is made up of checkerboard-style squares around the billabong in the middle. On your turn you move one of your five kangaroos, usually moving it in a jump or series of jumps over the other kangaroos. Jumps can be long; if the kangaroo to be jumped over is five spaces away, for example, the landing space will be five spaces beyond. The other option, to move a kangaroo just one space, is usually used as a positioning tactic for a subsequent move. The first player to get all five kangaroos around the billabong and over the finish line wins.

Love the clever black referee "no cheating" kangaroo. Instant hit with the three of us. I painted the blue roo Barney Purple. Only a geed would think the Blue Kangaroo had an unfair advantage.

[ESP] Un muy entretenido juego de carreras con una mecánica ultra original. Hay que concentrarse bien para encontrar el salto que más nos conviene. Desearía que mi grupo lo aceptara más...

UPDATE: JUL 2025 Top tier abstract game that you can teach in a minute or 2 mins (max), and it offers a lot of depth ======================= Brilliant 2+ player abstract game where your team of kangaroos have to work as a team and play their positions strategically
