Inspired by the pastoral life of Maasai people of Kenya and Tanzania, Elongo allows you to become a Maasai shepherd for a moment. You must look after your zebus, goats and sheep on drought-affected plains under the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro.
You compete with young warriors and boys from another village, and you must use your intelligence and your ingenuity to plan your land capture, and in this way, place all of your animals in the pastures.
While warriors look after zebus and boys look after goats and sheep, they must deal with dangerous beasts, so they must stay close to their livestock or build enclosures made of thorny acacia branches for their safety. But there are only 4 warriors and only 7 boys, and many animals to feed with scarce resources.
Can you outwit the warriors from the other village? Can you protect your cattle from wildlife? You can test your wits through the tutorial or herd your stock using the link below:

We would like to thank Robert Smith, game designer and publisher of Elongo, as well as the beloved Archduke who made this game a reality on BGA.
This is your Monday release,
Keep your eyes open and don’t let the lions bite, until next time take care and play fair…
