Description

???????????? (Return to Savannah) (Ritaan tu Sabanna) is a Japanese game about wildlife in Africa.

Surviving on the Savannah is harsh. Once defeated in a battle over territory, animals are forced out of the Savannah. But they are still watching for an opportunity to return to the Savannah.

Return to Savannah is a tile placement game with a theme of great emigration of animals. In this game, players try to score points by placing animal tiles effectively.

Players take turns placing an animal tile on a 4x4 square grid board. You must place an animal adjacent to another animal of the same type if any, expanding territory for that animal. If a type of animals are surrounded by other animals, they are forced to make a great emigration and removed from the board. At that moment the two leading players score points in the following manner.

There are two leader tokens for each type of animals. These tokens move to certain players each time a tile of that type is placed. When that type of animals is removed, the token holders score points equal to the number of tiles removed or twice that number.

The game ends when a certain number of migrations are made, and the highest scorer wins the game.
