Game Schooler Recommendation

Savannah Park is another great game from the design duo of Michael Kiesling and Wolfgang Kramer. This game encourages kids to concentrate, process frequently changing information, and flex their spatial perception skills. As players group animals together near watering holes, placement options shrink and demand more challenging decisions. Quick setup and tear down, coupled with end game scoring that utilizes multiplication, make Savannah Park an easy recommendation.

Game Overview

In Savannah Park, you each run your own wildlife park, and your goal is to group animals with their own kind — but everyone takes turns deciding what to move, so you might not be able to shuffle animals into the right spaces.

Each player starts the game with the same set of 33 unique animal tiles, with those tiles laid out at random in your personal wildlife park.

On a turn, you name a specific face-up tile that all players must pick up, flip face down, then move to a different empty space within their own park. Tiles that have been flipped cannot move again, and once all tiles have moved, the game ends with a scoring round.
