Kariba Limited Edition – The Chameleon Joins the Waterhole 🦎🐘

In the heart of the savannah, the animals gather at the waterhole, and the strongest chase the others away. Kariba is a clever card game by Reiner Knizia, illustrated by Felix Kindelán and published by Helvetiq, for 2 to 4 players aged 6 and up, in about 15 minutes.

This Limited Edition gives the classic a fresh new look and adds a cheeky chameleon. Eight animals, numbered from the mouse (1) to the elephant (8), come to drink. On your turn, play one or more cards of the same animal next to its number around the waterhole. When three or more of that animal gather, they chase away the nearest weaker animal, and you keep those cards. Then refill your hand to five cards. The elephant may be king, but only the little mouse can scare it away. The chameleon is a joker: it can stand in for any animal, but it must always be played alone. It can ruin even the best-laid plans. When the draw pile is empty and one player has played their last card, the player with the most cards wins. Play now for a small catch, or wait for a bigger one?
