Have you ever seen elephants swinging from vine to vine? However, in Elefantissimo, this is what happens! The game takes place in the jungle, more precisely in a square made of 36 tree cards. Each player leads 2 elephants of his colour. On each turn, a player turns over the Action card at the top of the deck. The action described on the card will be performed by all players in turn. There are a total of 4 different actions: remove a tree from the jungle; move a tree from the jungle; move an elephant to a neighbouring tree; jump an elephant past the neighbouring tree. Once all the Action cards have been turned over, they are shuffled again to form the new deck.
The more trees disappear, the more difficult it is for the elephants to stay in the jungle. This is because movement is mandatory. And if an elephant can't move or jump on a free tree (2 elephants can't be on the same tree. Yes: 1 elephant already weighs a lot! So 2...) he falls and is eliminated. The game ends as soon as there is only one colour of elephant(s) left in play. The player who owns the elephant(s) wins the game.
Contents of the box : 36 tree cards, 8 action cards, 10 elephants of 5 different colours, 4 rule cards.
