Description Description
All animals are thirsty after an adventurous day in the Savannah. They all come to the drinking grounds. Every animal wants to be the first to drink, but watch out!!! The elephant scares the lion, the lion scares the zebra and the zebra scares the moose. Anything can happen. The moose might even scare the elephant. The player who scares away the most animals is the winner. Place the board in the middle of the table. Shuffle the cards and deal 5 cards to each player. Place the remaining cards face down into the holder in the center of the board. The oldest player begins, so everyone can benefit from his wisdom. Then the round starts with a clockwise direction. During a round a player goes through the following steps: Play one or more cards of the same animal. Place the cards in the corresponding position (1-9) around the lake. Just make sure it is clear to see how many cards there are. If you have 1 or more playing cards of the same animal and more than three cards, then the animal left of the weaker animal (lower number) chases it. This player wins all the cards from the weaker animal, even if the number of cards is higher than the driven away animal. If you drove an animal away, pick up all of the playing cards off the board and put them face down in front of you. Each card is worth 1 point, and the winner is the one with the most points.

Very underrated little game. For me it's a small gem: enjoyable, well designed, beautiful art and portable like no other. I like the Helvetiq games style, they're minimal but colorful and compact, easy to carry. I recommend this game to anyone, children will like a game like this. It's simple to learn, some luck is present but the game is fun. Another elegant work from master Knizia. Should be 7 - 7.5 but for graphic and components I give a 8 After many plays I vote 10, it's very funny and every one love it

Another one of those that you have and will rarely leave your collection because it's that nice little game to play between one or other play of a bigger game or even to end the night on a lighter note. Basically you have to place 1 or more animal cards in the pond and if there are 3 or more animals of that number, you chase away (collect the cards) the smaller animal immediately after the one you placed, whoever has the most cards collected at the end wins and the Game ends when the deck runs out. You always play a best of 3 because the game is very fast. I recommend it to any audience and to give as a gift.

Very nicely designed quick game which is a pleasure to play. Super simple rules, I text to read and plenty of tension and strategy squeezed into 10 min of play - Knizia in his best.

This game is criminally underrated. It's a really intense card game with cute artwork. Probably my favorite Knizia I've played, and it's really cheap on Amazon. Try it out!

Such a simple, simple game but a lot going on. Taught my father in law how to play this and we played on a holiday every night for over a week with my two kids. You are desperately trying not to set the next player up but at the same time you want to get rid of cards that aren't helping you. Great family game. Recommend to play with the advanced rules. First rating was a 9, but I've had so much fun playing this one I'm upgrading to a 10.
