Safari Jack (1998)

About this game

Safari Jack contains 60 cards and a rulebook. Players build the safari landscape, explore the safari and, well, kill endangered species. Kill the most by game end to win the game! Safari Jack was re-released in 2003 as part of the Hip Pocket Games series. This version features color cards, but supports only two players. The rulebook mentions that a second copy may be added to support up to four players.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.4/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
