Review: Savannah Tails
Posted by James (admin) on 17th January 2010
Savannah Tails is a game of Ostrich racing. The designers’ previous game was dog sled racing (Snow Tails) and this is a lighter and very different game.
Each player has a deck of cards which each show one of four colours and a number from 2 to 6. The track along which the ostriches race is made up of sections – straights and curves – which can be arranged in lots of different way. Each track section shows 4 trails (red, blue, yellow and black) and each has a tree at one side of the track.
At the start of each round, the playing order is determined by the player whose ostrich is furthest forwards, and ties are split by whoever is closest to the tree on that section of track. On their turn, a player plays one card from their hand of 4 (sometimes 5) cards, moves their ostrich along the track and then draws another card from their deck. When each player has taken a turn, a new rounds starts. Read the rest of this entry »
