Scavengers: A Kavango Game 2026

Dusk is falling in the Kalahari and the cries of the scavengers hover in the air. The scavengers are hungry and are gathering at the carcass.

Are you ready to experience the Kalahari at night?

Over one dramatic night - split into 3 rounds: dusk, midnight and dawn - you'll play as scavengers in the Kalahari competing for food at the carcass. Bluff, bid and outmanoeuvre your opponents to win the most food for your scavengers.

You’ll be dealt a hand of cards at the start of each phase of the night (dusk, midnight and dawn). Each round consists of five feeds, where you can bid to win food. The value of the feeds increases as the night progresses.

Action cards can invert the power of your scavengers so even the underdog can win and beware the power of the lion who will scare away your scavengers and steal food from the carcass!

It’s designed for 2-5 players, ages 8+, with a playtime of around 20-30 minutes. It’s an easy-to-learn, small-box, quick-playing card game in the same genre as games like Scout, Skull King, Flip 7 and Perudo… but with the bonus of some beautiful animals! It is a lot of fun and has high player interaction, making it perfect for group game night or family holidays!
