Together, you lead a herd of elephants safely across the savanna to the destination. You must manage the triple threats of food (Energy), time (cards), and Lions.<br /> <br /> = Setup =<br /> * Each player chooses a player board and receives elephants (3 &quot;active&quot; on the board, the rest as &quot;tired&quot; elephants in the reserve).<br /> * Arrange 6 Savanna boards between the Start and Destination boards according to the Journey tile.<br /> * The Matriarch starts on the Start board; place 2 Lions and 4 Trees as indicated.<br /> * Shuffle the three Savanna decks (I, II, III) with Matriarch and Lion cards. Each player starts with 3 cards.<br /> <br /> = Game Flow =<br /> The game is played clockwise. On your turn, choose one of two actions. Drawing or playing event cards (Matriarch/Lion) triggers immediate sequences.<br /> <br /> = Turn Sequence =<br /> <br /> ==== A) Build Savanna ====<br /> Place a card on an empty slot of a Savanna board.<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Water:&#039;&#039;&#039; Refill your supplies (+3 active elephants).<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Trees:&#039;&#039;&#039; Completing a Tree area grants the team +2 Energy.<br /> <br /> ==== B) Place Elephants ====<br /> Discard a card to place elephants in the depicted footprint pattern.<br /> * Placement must always be adjacent to the Matriarch or the existing herd.<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Difficult Terrain:&#039;&#039;&#039; Without a special symbol, only a maximum of one elephant can be placed per space.<br /> <br /> ==== Special Sequences ====<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Matriarch Sequence (triggered by Matriarch card):&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> # &#039;&#039;&#039;Move Matriarch:&#039;&#039;&#039; The figure moves forward.<br /> # &#039;&#039;&#039;Gather Herd:&#039;&#039;&#039; All active elephants on player boards become tired elephants again.<br /> # &#039;&#039;&#039;Lose Energy:&#039;&#039;&#039; The team loses -2 Energy.<br /> # &#039;&#039;&#039;Refresh Trees:&#039;&#039;&#039; All used Trees are stood up again.<br /> * &#039;&#039;Note:&#039;&#039; A &quot;Double Matriarch&quot; (holding two cards) costs -5 Energy immediately.<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Lion Sequence (triggered by Lion card):&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> * Lions move via the shortest path toward the nearest elephants.<br /> * Any elephants reached are permanently removed from the game.<br /> * If a Lion is in the same area as the Matriarch, all players must discard additional elephants.<br /> <br /> = End of Game =<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Victory:&#039;&#039;&#039; Once all 6 Landmarks have been visited and the herd reaches the Destination board.<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Defeat:&#039;&#039;&#039; Energy drops to 0, the draw pile is empty, or a player loses their last available elephant.</div>
