About the game

In Survive The Serengeti, players compete to guide their wildebeest safely to the other side of a savannah filled with hungry predators. A card game for 2-5 players, each player starts with an identical hand of wildebeest numbered 1-12. Each turn a predator is revealed that will force a player to discard a card if they are the unlucky player who guesses incorrectly. All players choose, then simultaneously reveal one of their wildebeest, hoping not to be lunch. This is a "play the players" type of game, full of double-think, bluffing, and reading your opponent. —description from the designer
