Savannah Tails

About this board game

Savannah Tails is a fast-paced ostrich racing board game for 2–5 players, with a playing time of about 30 minutes. Race through the African savannah as one of five distinctive ostriches: Albrecht, Alexandra, Enzo, Nnelg, or Mathilda.

Winning the race is only part of the challenge. Cheetahs and crocodiles will try to eat you, while warthogs will probably ignore you. Elephants may simply block the way, and porcupines bring an especially unwelcome complication to the course.

The game includes 25 track sections, allowing players to design their own races and create different routes across the savannah. Alongside the regular sections, the tracks feature unusual challenges involving a rope bridge, quicksand, and a sand dune.
