About the game
In the abstract game Tasso, each player starts the game with the same number of sticks. On a turn, a player lays one of their sticks on the game board or on sticks already present on the game board; whenever a player lays a stick on two sticks already laid, they immediately take another turn. (Note that a stick cannot support more than one other stick.) Whoever first places all of their sticks on the game board wins! Tasso Safari keeps the same gameplay as Tasso, but the action is moved to Africa with sticks of different lengths that represent giraffes, elephants, lions, and zebras. Kilimanjaro and Lake Victoria both make an appearance, offering both beauty and obstacles around which players must maneuver. Can you take your animal sticks to the next level?

Questions and answers
Tasso Safari supports 2–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Tasso Safari is 20 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 Tasso Safari for ages 8 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.
Tasso Safari 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.
