Botswana is a fast-paced family game where you collect animals and try to give them the highest possible value – before the game ends!

In this simple yet clever card game, you play cards to influence the value of different animals while collecting them. But you need to think tactically – the animal you have the most of might be the one someone else is lowering the value of! When all cards of an animal have been played, the game ends, and each player's collection is scored based on the animals' final values.

Botswana is perfect for both children and adults. The rules can be learned in two minutes, but the game offers a lot of interaction and clever choices. With plastic figures of lions, zebras, elephants, and more safari animals, it's also a truly charming addition to your game table.
