Overview

This is a safari themed popularity race. Be the person with the most tokens in the coloured territory and you'll score all the points for that territory. Be the first to complete a territory and you win the inauguration bonus worth 5 points. The player with the most points at the end of the game wins.

Gameplay

To complete setup, the first player will choose where the Guardian starts. Play then continues with the next player.

On your turn you will do 2 actions, in order:

Step 1: Play a Token

You must place a token of your choice in the row/column the guardian is in.

You put your token face up, then immediately take the following actions if the condition applies:

When you place:	Next to:	Do this:
Zebra	Lion	Flip the Zebra face down
Lion	Zebra(s)	Flip all adjacent Zebras face down
Gazelle	Lion	Flip the Gazelle face down
Lion	Gazelle(s)	Return all adjacent Gazelles to owner
Crocodile	Gazelle (with a river in between)	(optional) Crocodile and Gazelle swap places. If more than one Gazelle qualifies, choose one. Reaction can be chained based on the Crocodile's new location.
Crocodile	Gazelle (no river in between)	Does NOT trigger swap.

Check for First Territory

Do not check until you have completed all triggered actions. If any territory is full, take the Inauguration token (worth 5 points). Once taken, you will no longer check for this condition after Step 1.

Step 2: Move the Guardian

The Guardian moves clockwise. Move the Guardian 1-3 spaces forward, stopping in a row/column with at least 1 empty space. If there is not a legal option available, move the Guardian forward to the first available row/column with at least 1 empty space.

Play continues with the next player. If they do not have any tokens remaining, play your remaining tokens, 1 at a time, until the board is full.

Scoring

For each territory, the player with the most tokens (face up or down) is the one to score the territory. Count up all visible points in the territory.

The player with the Inauguration token scores 5 points.

The player with the most points wins.
