Watch “Kavango Board Game Review - First Impression - Kickstarter - Mazaza Games,” a board game review for Kavango from TableTopVibes on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by TableTopVibes on YouTube:

Kavango is a card drafting, animal sanctuary building game where you strive to create the most diverse conservation habitat by constructing a diverse ecosystem containing native plants, docile herbivores, and voracious carnivores. (hey, everyone's has to eat) Game consists of three card drafting rounds where you will decide between 4 basic plant types, multiple different animals, and one time action cards to give you an advantage over your opponents. Use the sanctuary sections of your conservation to save animals you can't yet support or fulfill the requirements to place them safely within your guarded grounds. Obtain money to fund your program through public multi-level research goals with a unique twist. Once you obtain the funds, you cannot obtain a greater level each turn. Invest your funds to protect against poachers, build up your habitat, and collectively protect against environmental climate disasters. All of these (along with food requirements) are prerequisites for each type of animal you will place in your habitat. Multi-level engine building, diverse card acquisition, direct player interaction, and clean card and board look make this a beautifully thought-out game that would be a wonderful addition to your game night.

About Kavango, from BoardGameGeek:

Travel to the vast wildernesses of Southern Africa and step into the role of a Conservation Expert. Embark on a re-wilding journey as you transform your own unique landscape into a thriving nature reserve. Over three fast-paced rounds of simultaneous turns and card drafting, you will build a flourishing ecosystem. As you grow your nature reserve, you must complete research tasks to earn money to invest in protection and provide a haven for vulnerable and endangered animals. As the game progresses, your choices become harder and your strategy more complex as you aim to build the highest scoring nature reserve. Created by Matt and Zara, while working on conservation in Botswana, Kavango is deeply thematic and is thoughtfully designed to be a modern and realistic view of conservation in southern Africa. With 160 unique species cards, 45 research cards, 10 conservation experts and 5 landscape boards, there is huge variability to reflect the incredible biodiversity of Kavango. -description from the publisher Admin note: The German edition from Schmidt Spiele is for 1-4 players instead of 1-5.
