A MINI-EXPANSION FOR BANJOOLI XEET: "The more experienced voices of the Noamomi tribe tell that years ago, after the nine-hundredth and first ostrich race (in which, almost everybody shoud know Xultu shaman became winner), the breeders realized that one of them hadn’t reached the goal. They searched every corner of the Village in vain as they didn’t hear from kanasu ostrich again … … until the penultimate race, in which many attendees noticed that there were six ostriches running on the dry river bed, what came as a total surprise for the quiet Noamomi. However, old Xewwi instantly comprehended what was happening. Kanasu had returned to run after been missing for years, who knows which cruel spell of the shaman apprentices had been cast?.... And something in his eyes indicated that he would no longer be scared of anything or anyone." This expansion consists of a single ostrich that sometimes joins the race. It cannot be scared, and if it reaches the finish, no player gains points for it. “Cuentan las voces mas experimentadas de la tribu Noamomi que años atrás, tras la noningentesimoprimera carrera de avestruces (en la que, como todo el mundo debería saber, resultó ganador el brujo Xultu), los criadores descubrieron que una de ellas no había llegado a la meta. Buscaron por todos los rincones de la aldea en vano, ya que nunca mas se volvió a saber del avestruz Kanasu... ...Hasta la penúltima carrera, en la que muchos de los presentes advirtieron que llegó a haber seis avestruces corriendo en el cauce seco del río, lo que sorprendió a los tranquilos Noamomi. Sin embargo,el anciano Xewwi, comprendió lo que pasaba al instante. Kanasu, había vuelto a correr tras pasar años desaparecida, quién sabe por cuál de los crueles sortilegios de los aprendices de brujo... Y algo en su mirada señalaba que ya no se iba a asustar de nada, ni nadie.”
