About the Game

Have you always dreamed of going on safari? Now you can be the guide yourself!

You drive tourists around the park in search of beautiful landscapes and beautiful views, but especially to spot the Big Five! It is your job, together with the other guides, to find all the animals. But watch out! Setbacks are coming your way: forest fires that drive away the animals, severe thunderstorms, extreme heat, a flat tire, a herd of hippos in the middle of the road and too little fuel or food are all factors that make it difficult to find the animals. Each guide has their own qualities. Help each other to find all the animals. Can you manage to spot all five animals? Then you have won this game!

The Big Five is a cooperative Eurogame. Players ride around the board with a number of actions to spot all 5 animals. In the meantime, forest fires and other problems trouble the players and they need to solve them before all animals leave the area and all players lose the game. When all players have spotted all 5 animals, they win the game.
