About Tembo: Survival on the Savanna, from BoardGameGeek:
TEMBO is the Swahili word for elephant. In this cooperative game, you lead a herd of elephants on a thrilling journey of survival across the savanna. Reaching your destination is the only way to win - yet the path is full of challenges. You will need to search out food and water, navigate shifting terrain, and avoid the fierce lions that roam the land.
On your turn, play a card to either expand the savanna or move the herd forward across it. Each card has dual uses, and your position at the table determines how you can play it, creating a multi-layered puzzle for you and your team to solve. Play continues until the herd reaches its destination-or until you lose by going hungry, running out of time in the deck, or being caught by the lions.
No two journeys are ever the same. Each game offers new challenges, demanding careful planning and constant communication to guide your herd safely to victory.
