Drôles de Zèbres : The Empire Stripes Back!

Post by BalGAmor »

Image

Cathala-Jones, the ranger of the Manee Bikini Reserve, had a brilliant idea: zebras won’t be white with black stripes anymore, but black with white stripes… or white with black spots… the bigger, the better. And that’s what tourists will want to see!
 
He has charged you, and another adventurer (2-player game yeah!!!), with distributing various animals among the different parts of the reserve: gazelles, crocodiles, elephants, lions and of course, the main attraction, those funny zebras.
 
The competition will be fierce, because only the one who best demonstrates their expertise will deserve to become his right-hand ranger and run the park! (and therefore, win). Meanwhile, Cathala-Jones keeps an eye on everything until every last space has been filled.
 
At first, you're placing beautiful Zebras worth a fortune turning them into a celebrity attraction. But your opponent drops a Lion, triggering a panic across the reserve. Or they unleash a crocodile in a sneaky sabotage attempt. A territory that looked like a guaranteed victory turns into a disaster in a single move. And don’t forget, only one of you will be celebrated as the genius who created the reserve everyone came to see.
 
In Drôles de Zèbres, you’re not just placing animals, you’re building the most legendary safari in Africa.

We would like to thank Bruno Cathala, the game designer, and all the “rangers” from Entrejeux for letting us add their game to the platform. A tip of the pith helmet goes to Moof for making this game a reality on BGA.
 
This was your Monday release.
Let’s hope that polka dots make a comeback after this game! Until then, take care and play fair…

This is a cute game.
I wrote the How to Play section as another method of learning the game.
Have fun!

Anyone know why the front page images are now all "Flanders-less"?

I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right place : I believe BGA didn't count the 5 points I should have earned from winning the inauguration tile. Wouldn't have changed the winner (not me) but still...

Hi-diddly-ho! Someone knows, but they aren't talkin'. One might speculate: production pain, new invisible pixel technology, stupid sexy infringement notice. But for now, we are just enjoying the heck out of the gosh darn wondering.

I would say that polka dots already came back with Khn and Klek de Poitrine 8-)
