Description

In Serengeti, 3 to 6 players compete in thrilling auctions to collect valuable cards, with a unique twist that sets it apart from other games. The rules are easy to learn, making it accessible to new players, and with a playtime of just 25 to 30 minutes, you can dive into the action quickly. Designed by Michael Schacht and first published in 2001, this game has stood the test of time, offering a fun and engaging experience for all. As players bid on cards, they must be strategic about the numbers they choose, as they cannot bid a number whose 'ones' digit matches the number on any card they have previously won. This clever mechanism adds a layer of complexity and excitement to the game, as players must think carefully about their bids to outmaneuver their opponents and collect the most valuable sets of cards.
