About the game
In Savannah Park, you manage your own wildlife park, aiming to group animal tiles with their own kind, but the twist is that everyone must move whichever tile is named on their turn. This shared decision-making creates delightful tension as you try to steer the same public information toward your own advantage. Scoring rewards uncovering habitat tiles and forming the largest, most connected animal herds. With a solo mode and multiple scoring variants, it's a clever puzzle from acclaimed designers Kiesling and Kramer.
Hobbli's Notes
We love the deceptively simple twist where all players move the same named tile simultaneously, turning a personal puzzle into a shared tactical dance. It's a great example of how a small rules change can create big strategic depth. The variety of included variants means it stays fresh across many plays.
What we like
- Clever shared-move mechanism creates unique tactical tension.
- Includes a solo mode and several scoring variants for variety.
- Quick 40-minute playtime works well for game nights.
- Designed by acclaimed veterans Kiesling and Kramer.
Keep in mind
- Shared tile movement can feel counterintuitive to newcomers at first.
- Abstract animal theme is light on narrative.
- Some player interaction may feel more spiteful than cooperative.
