Savannah Park

Players each manage a personal wildlife park and try to group animal species into large herds while shared choices limit which tiles can move. On a turn, the active player names a face-up animal tile; every player must flip that tile face-down and move it to an empty space in their own park. Flipped tiles are locked and cannot be moved again, and play ends once all movable tiles have been relocated. Endgame scoring removes animals adjacent to bush-fire spaces, rewards uncovered grass and tree spaces, and scores each species by multiplying the size of its largest herd by the number of water holes it contains. Variants include solo play, custom placement of fire and trees, and an alternate scoring rule involving lions.
