Description

Get ready for a wild adventure in the Australian bush with the Kookaburra Game, designed by Claude Debetaz and first introduced in 2000. This fun and easy-to-learn game is perfect for 2 to 4 players, and a typical game takes about 60 minutes to play. The goal is simple: be the first player to get all five of your Australian animals - a koala, platypus, kangaroo, crocodile, and kookaburra - back home safely. Each turn, you'll throw two dice to determine how far you can move your animals, but beware - the crocodile can eat any other animal, sending it back to the starting line. As you navigate the bush, you'll need to use the unique abilities of each animal to your advantage. The koala can only rest on eucalyptus leaves, while the platypus can take a shortcut through the river. The kangaroo can carry another animal in its pouch, and the kookaburra can fly in to rescue its friends from hungry crocodiles. With its simple rules and exciting gameplay, the Kookaburra Game is a great choice for families and children, and its animal-themed fun is sure to delight players of all ages. So gather your friends and get ready to join the race - but don't forget to beware of those sneaky crocs.
