Kariba

The watering hole puzzle pieces and the cards with the different animals are cute. Simple and quick game that has the opportunity for different strategizing, especially the experienced version. I play this with my roommate and we're about even on wins, so the game feels balanced and not super dependent on what cards you draw.

decent strategy in a very easy-to-teach, easy-to-play game

Kariba is a simple, fun game with a quick rule set and explanation! The only thing that trips people up sometimes is that the mice (1) take the elephants (8), which is a special situation.

Both my 5-year-old daughter and I enjoyed Karbia. It's cute and fun. It was easy to learn how to play, although I also watched a YouTube video to check if I was playing the cards correctly. I highly recommend this game.

Kariba is a simple card game that is very compact. I feel that I could take this game anywhere and it plays pretty fast (around or less than 10 minutes for 2 players). It has a fun theme of chasing away other animals at a watering hole. The only required set-up aside from shuffling and dealing cards is for each time you play you will need to assemble the watering hole, which is a small puzzle (takes a few seconds to assemble). All the animal cards and watering hole pieces fit nicely in the tiny box. There are some meaty choices and it can be a great 2-player game. A player has to decide which type of animal, how many of those cards to play out, and when. The art on the cards is cute and for the price-point it feels like a must-buy. My husband and I have been enjoying this one.

It's small, short, and simple, but it's very good. Easy to play over a coffee. The art is adorable.

Fantastic bang for your buck, and price point! I have played this over and over with my 6yr old, and 10 yr old, and enjoyed it myself!!! Strategy, math skills (willingly), and FUN!!!

We love Kariba! This was a Christmas gift for my daughter and has turned into a family favorite. I recently purchased 3 copies from MM for gifts. It’s quick, fun and always provides lots of laughter!

Such a great little game. I had a casual gamer friend order the game before we even fished out first play through. Even my more serious gamer friends like this one.

This is an excellent game for the family. If you're familiar with Reiner Knizia's Lost Cities and/or Battle Lines this game is very similar to those with a rule set that is light enough that the entire family can pick it up quickly. It plays fast - play a card(s), draw a card(s) - and still makes for some difficult choices. My kids and my nieces love it!
