Strategeti is a board game released in 2025 for 2 players, 15 minutes per game, and ages 7 and up. It was designed by Ignasi Ferré and its main mechanics are Square Grid, Grid Movement, and Pattern Movement.
PLAY: Try to rule the Serengeti by cleverly placing and moving your animals on the 4x4 game board! Elephants push other animals back, maybe even into the croc infested river or into the ravine. Lions eat gazelles and zebras. Gazelles can jump over other animals, even several times in one turn! Zebras, finally, can run freely in any direction. Make them work together and you will maximize your chances to win! ADAPT: Every animal moves differently and has its own strengths and weaknesses! So anticipate your opponent’s moves and adapt your own strategy when needed, especially as 1 move can change everything! The double sided game board has different entry points and will challenge you to completely change your strategy between the 2 game levels. WIN: To rule the Serengeti and win the game, position 4 of your animals in a horizontal, vertical or diagonal line, eliminate 5 of your opponent’s animals or block them from moving.
Strategeti supports 2 players according to the catalogue. This is the publisher’s listed player count, so the game is designed for exactly that number of participants. Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
The listed playing time for Strategeti is 15 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Strategeti for ages 7 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Strategeti has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
