Kleine Fotosafari

Two zebras and three elephants

 

As a tourist on safari you want to shoot pictures of animals in the wild. 24 animal cards show 7 elephants, 7x zebras, 6 giraffes and 4 lions; on 48 photo cards you find 21 x three, 15 x four and 12 x five animals. 12 animal cards are placed in a circle, heads inwards; one animal is turned up on top of the animal card stack. The photo cards are sorted by their back-side and you start the game with a 3-animal photo card.

In your turn you can change the animal cards display and then check for a photo. You can either switch two animals directly adjacent, but you cannot reverse a switch that was done immediately before. Or you switch a card from the circle with the card on top of the stack or you put the card on the stack back underneath the stack and turn up a new card. Or you put the photo card underneath the appropriate stack and draw a new one from the same stack. When then there is a group of animals in the circle exactly as shown on your photo card - the animals on the card must also be oriented inwards with their heads - the photo has been made and you keep the card. After the first round you can also check before your turn if your photo is made before you change the display. If you have made the necessary number of photos in sequence - four photos with three animals, three photos with two animals and two photos with five animals - you win the game. In a variant you can make a photo at any point in the game, if possible.

Kleine Fotosafari as an attractive game for the whole family; it is quickly explained and quickly played, featuring a well-made variant of the set collecting mechanism.
