AfricaBoardGameGeekrank: 6,577rating: 6.0published: 2001designer: Reiner KniziaPrint Statusout of printWhy It's On The ListA great Knizia exploration game that was sadly under-rated when it first appeared in 2002 because it wasn't the next Euphrat & Tigris.Tips & Tricks:As much as possible, don't waste moves. You can work to set up plays so that you can make sure that each turn has two productive activities.Use the "skip a turn, move anywhere" power sparingly.Relocating nomads can be very lucrative point-wise, especially if you plan for it.ExtrasAfrica packs a lot of game into 30 minutes... it's worth tracking down a copy.I don't understand it - but for some reason, this is a really polarizing game for some people.Here's what I wrote about Africa for The One Hundred.This is the fifth of five (5!) games on my list by designer Reiner Knizia.
