About the Game

A terrible sandstorm is raging in the desert. By dawn, when everything finally quiets down, the suricata family's burrow is covered in dust, their items scattered everywhere. Worst of all, Kiki, the youngest member of the family, is missing! The suricata family band together and do something they've never done before: they leave the burrow and its surroundings to travel the desert together to find Kiki. You control a member of the family, build your own deck and if you complete the adventure deck fast enough, you might just save Kiki.

The game's special feature is that you build not only your own deck, but also a shared deck. In your own turn, you first play some of your cards in order to:

get a new card for yourself add a new card to the common deck perform a special action reveal the next adventure card "defeat" the current adventure card.

You can do any number of these as long as you have enough cards. At the end of your turn, you draw new cards.

This simple card game puts a twist on the familiar deck-building mechanic.

Can you hide from the eagles? Will you be able to defeat the rattlesnake? Or perhaps make new friends along the way? But most importantly, will you be able to save Kiki and bring the family back together? It depends on your decisions!
