Bongo-bongo! In the sweltering heat of the savannah, the animals perform a rain dance for the weather god Tambuzi. Suddenly, a storm is brewing! They need to take cover quickly, but not all find a spot. When the sound goes off with a hissing flash, the animal that does not have a hut is out of the game. The goal is not to be struck by lightning as possible and to have the most points at the end. Original German description: Bongo-Bongo!
