=== Preparation ===

Shuffle all 72 land tiles, and place them facedown in stacks that are easily accessible to all players. <ref>

Tiles can also be placed into a bag or box to be drawn randomly.

[[File:Safari_Land_Tile_Stacks.jpg|none|frame|Land tile stacks]]

Place the start tile in the middle of the table and place the rangers in the spaces indicated in the illustration below.

[[File:Safari_Start_Tile_And_Rangers.jpg|none|frame|Start tile with Rangers]]

Place the scoreboard to the side of the playing area. Place the score markers next to it.

Shuffle all 50 animal tokens and distribute two to each player. Each player puts them face up in front of them. Shuffle the rest of them and put them aside, face down. <ref>

It is much more convenient to put the animal tokens into a small bag and draw them randomly as required.

[[File:Safari_Animal_Tiles_Face_Down.jpg|none|frame|Animal tokens facing down]]

Each player chooses a color and takes the six meeples and one elephant of that color to form their personal supply. Place each player‘s elephant on the 0 space. Return all unused meeples and elephants to the box.

== Overview and object of the game ==  

Players take turns placing land tiles, expanding the savanna and discovering bush, animal trails, and baobab trees. You place meeples in the bush or on animal trails and complete them to score points for the different animals present, and lay meeples on baobab trees to draw new animal tiles. Animal tiles can score additional points or can be used to dig watering holes in the savanna. Players score points throughout the game as well as at the end of the game. The player with the highest score after final scoring wins.

== Gameplay ==

'''Carcassonne Safari''' is played in turns, in clockwise order. Starting with the youngest player, the active player follows these steps '''in the order listed below''', after which the next player takes a turn, and so on. Below is a brief description of the actions you will take on your turn and the different features on the land tiles.

{{RulesPlacingTile|header=fake-h4|title=1. Placing a land tile|rules=

<td width="130">You '''must''' draw one land tile from a stack and place it faceup adjacent to any tile already on the board to continue the landscape.</td>

{{RulesPlacingMeeple|header=fake-h4|title=2. Perform action|rules=

<td colspan="2">Choose '''one''' of the following:</td>

<td width="170" valign="top"><ul><li>Place a '''meeple''' on the tile you just placed.</li></ul></td>

<td valign="top"><ul><li>Move one of the two '''rangers'''.</li></ul></td>

<td valign="top"><ul><li>Dig or expand a '''watering hole'''.</li></ul></td>

{{RulesScoring|header=fake-h4|title=3. Score a feature|rules=

<td width="140" valign="top">You '''must''' score any features completed by the tile you placed this turn, even if other players have

meeples on them.</td>

=== The animal trails ===  

{{RulesPlacingTile|title=1. Placing a land tile with an animal trail|rules=

If you draw a tile with an animal trail, you must place it such that it continues the existing landscape (including any savanna, animal trails, or bush). <ref>

In the rare case that a tile cannot legally be placed anywhere, it is removed from the game, and the player draws another.

[[File:Safari_Rules_Animal_Path_Example_01.png|none|frame|'''Example:''' {{ColorRed|You}} placed the '''animal trail''' tile. The animal trail, as well as the savanna, continues the landscape.]]

{{RulesPlacingMeeple|title=2. Placing a meeple on an animal trail|rules=

After placing a tile with an animal trail, you may place one of your meeples '''on that animal trail''', but only if no other meeples are present along the entire trail.

[[File:Safari_Rules_Animal_Path_Example_02.png|none|frame|'''Example:''' {{ColorRed|You}} place a meeple on the tile you just placed. This is legal because there are no other meeples on that trail.]]

{{RulesScoring|title=3. Scoring an animal trail|rules=

An animal trail is completed when both ends are closed by bush or savanna, or when it loops back onto itself by connecting to the other end. When the trail is completed, it is scored. If one of your meeples is on a trail when it scores, you will score points from it.

You score points based on the '''number of different animals''' present on the animal trail. The number of points scored is shown

below, as well as on the scoreboard.

     <th width="200" align="right" style="border: 1px solid black;">Different animals&nbsp;</th>

     <th width="200" align="right" style="border: 1px solid black;">Points&nbsp;</th>  

The total number of animals on the trail does not matter, only how many '''different''' animals are present. After scoring, return your '''meeple from the trail''' to your supply.

[[File:Safari_Rules_Animal_Path_Example_03a.png|none|frame|'''Example:''' {{ColorBlue|Blue}} closes {{ColorRed|your}} animal trail. Even though another player placed the tile that completed it, you will score the points from it, because {{ColorRed|your meeple}} is on the trail. There are three different animals on the trail, so you score '''6 points'''.]]

'''Placing additional animals'''

Before you would score points from an animal trail, you may add one animal tile from your supply to that trail. The animal tile must be an animal that is not already present on that trail.

[[File:Safari_Rules_Animal_Path_Example_03b.png|none|frame|'''Example:''' On {{ColorRed|your}} animal trail, there is an elephant, a zebra, and a giraffe. You place a lion from your supply. Now there are four different animals on the trail, and you score '''10 points''' instead of 6 points.]]

Players track their scores using the elephants placed on the scoreboard at the start of the game. When you score points, move your elephant forward that many spaces. If your elephant passes the '''0''' space on the scoreboard, take a scoring marker and place it with the "'''50'''" side up in front of you. If your elephant passes the '''0''' space again, flip the scoring marker over to the "'''100'''" side.

[[File:Safari_Rules_Animal_Path_Example_03c.jpg|none|frame|'''Example:''' The elephant on the scoreboard moves 6 spaces to keep track of the score.]]

Discard all animal tiles that were placed on the trail faceup. If a player would draw a new animal tile but there are none left in the supply, shuffle the discarded tiles facedown to create the new supply.

=== The Bush ===  

{{RulesPlacingTile|title=1. Placing a land tile|rules=

If you draw a tile with bush, you must place it such that it continues the existing landscape (including any savanna, animal trails, or bush).

[[File:Safari_Rules_Bushes_Example_01.png|none|frame|'''Example:''' Tile with a bush segment (lower right portion of tile)]]

{{RulesPlacingMeeple|title=2. Placing a meeple|rules=

After placing a tile with bush, you may place a meeple in that bush, but only if that bush does not have another meeple on it.

[[File:Safari_Rules_Bushes_Example_02.png|none|frame|'''Example:''' {{ColorRed|You}} place a tile, adding to the open bush. The bush does not have any meeples on it, so you can place a meeple there.]]

{{RulesScoring|title=3. Scoring a feature|rules=

A bush is completed when it does not have any open sides or gaps. When a bush is completed, it is scored. If one of your meeples is in the bush when it scores, you will score points from it. The points scored from animals in a bush are the same as those scored from

an animal trail (see table below). Additionally, each bird ([[File:Safari_Rules_Bushes_Bird.jpg|32px|text-bottom|]]) above the bush is worth '''1 point'''.

     <th width="200" align="right" style="border: 1px solid black;">Different animals&nbsp;</th>

     <th width="200" align="right" style="border: 1px solid black;">Points&nbsp;</th>  

After scoring a bush, return your meeple from the bush to your supply.

'''Placing additional animals'''

Before you would score points from a bush, you may add one animal tile from your supply on that bush. The animal tile must be an animal that is not already present in that bush, and the animal tile is discarded after the bush is scored.

[[File:Safari_Rules_Bushes_Example_03ab.png|none|frame|'''Example:''' {{ColorRed|You}} add a tile to close that area of bush. A giraffe and a monkey are already in {{ColorRed|your}} bush, and you add a zebra tile. {{ColorRed|You}} now have three different animals and score 6 points from animals. There are also three birds above the bush, giving you an additional 3 points, for a total of '''9 points'''.]]

=== The Baobab Tree ===

{{RulesPlacingTile|title=1. Placing a land tile|rules=

If you draw a tile with a baobab tree, you must place it such that it continues the existing landscape (including any savanna, animal trails, or bush).

[[File:Safari_Rules_Baobab_Example_01.png|none|frame|'''Example:''' A baobab tree tile]]

{{RulesPlacingMeeple|title=2. Placing a meeple|rules=

You may '''lay''' a meeple onto a baobab tree you just placed. After laying a meeple on a tree, you draw '''two animal tiles''' from the supply and place them '''faceup''' in front of you.

[[File:Safari_Rules_Baobab_Example_02_v2.png|none|frame|'''Example:''' {{ColorRed|You}} lay your meeple onto the baobab tree you just placed and draw two animal tiles.]]

{{RulesScoring|title=3. Scoring a feature|rules=

When '''all eight''' spaces around a baobab tree have tiles placed on them, return your meeple from that tree to your supply, then draw '''two additional animal tiles''' from the supply and place them '''faceup''' in front of you. You do not score any points from the baobab tree.

[[File:Safari_Rules_Baobab_Example_03_v2.png|none|frame|'''Example:''' All spaces around the baobab tree with {{ColorRed|your}} meeple are filled. {{ColorRed|You}} take back your meeple and receive two additional animal tiles.]]

{{InterimRule|rules=Since animal tokens for completing a baobab are received in the scoring phase, it is unclear at this moment if the player can use either of the two animal tokens in the same turn to boost the score of another, scoreable, feature, if it is completed by placing the tile. We recommend allowing immediate use. Alternatively, you can use an animal token received for placing a meeple on a baobab in a previous phase.}}

=== The Ranger ===

During your turn, the rangers can be used in one of two ways:  

* '''Option A:''' The tile does not displace a ranger

{{RulesPlacingTile|title=1a. Placing a land tile|rules=

You place a land tile on a space without a ranger on it.

[[File:Safari_Rules_Ranger_Example_01a.png|none|frame|'''Example:''' {{ColorRed|You}} place a tile and no ranger is displaced.]]

{{RulesPlacingMeeple|title=2a. No meeple placed|rules=

'''Instead of placing a meeple''' during your turn, you may move one of the two rangers to an empty space next to one or more land tiles.

[[File:Safari_Rules_Ranger_Example_02a.png|none|frame|'''Example:''' {{ColorRed|You}} can move a ranger as an alternative to placing a meeple.]]

{{RulesScoring|title=3a. Score features|rules=

Score all features completed by the tile you placed. You '''do not''' score points for moving the ranger.

* '''Option B:''' The tile displaces a ranger

{{RulesPlacingTile|title=1b. Placing a tile on a space with a ranger|rules=

If you place a tile on an empty space occupied by a ranger, remove the ranger and place it in front of you.

[[File:Safari_Rules_Ranger_Example_01b.png|none|frame|'''Example:''' {{ColorRed|You}} place a tile in the space with a ranger. {{ColorRed|You}} place the ranger in front of you.]]

{{RulesPlacingMeeple|title=2b. Placing a meeple|rules=

You may place a meeple on the tile you placed, following the rules for placing meeples on animal trails and bush.

[[File:Safari_Rules_Ranger_Example_02b.png|none|frame|'''Example:''' {{ColorRed|You}} place the meeple on the tile.]]

{{RulesScoring|title=3b. Score features|rules=

Score all features completed by the tile you placed. You score '''3 points''' for displacing the ranger.  

After scoring, place the ranger on an empty space adjacent to one or more tiles.

[[File:Safari_Rules_Ranger_Example_03b.png|none|frame|'''Example:''' {{ColorRed|You}} place the ranger in an empty space.]]

'''Note:''' You may only move '''one ranger''' per turn. If you displaced a ranger with your tile (1b), you may not move a

ranger instead of placing a meeple (2a). The two rangers can '''never occupy the same space'''.

=== The Watering Holes ===  

In addition to using animal tiles to improve your score for animal trails and bush, you can also use them to dig watering holes in the savanna.

{{RulesPlacingTile|title=1. Placing a land tile|rules=

You draw a land tile and place it, continuing the landscape as normal.}}

{{RulesPlacingMeeple|title=2. Dig or expand a watering hole|rules=

'''Dig a watering hole'''

'''Instead''' of placing a meeple on a tile, you may start digging a watering hole. To do so, place an animal tile from your supply onto an open corner of any tile ('''not necessarily the tile you just placed'''). A corner is open if it depicts only savanna (no bush). Then place a meeple on that animal tile and immediately score '''3 points'''.

[[File:Safari_Rules_Watering_Hole_Example_02a.png|none|frame|'''Example:''' {{ColorRed|You}} place a land tile to extend {{ColorRed|your}} animal trail. Instead of placing a meeple on the tile, you start digging a watering hole. After placing the meeple on the animal tile, you score '''3 points'''.]]

The rules say that you can start a Watering Hole at the empty savanna corner of a tile. However, once a Watering Hole has started, can a player place a tile with Bush segment next to the Watering Hole? See the picture below.<br/>If a player places a Bush segment there, the Watering Hole can never be completed, and the meeple is stuck for the rest of the game. Is this allowed?

|text=The rules doesn't forbid this, so it should be allowed.

But of course it's not a very nice move. (2/2023)

[[File:Safari_Rules_Watering_Hole_Clarification_Example_01.png|frame|none|'''Example:''' {{ColorRed|Red}} can place a Bush tile that blocks the Watering Hole started by {{ColorBlue|Blue}}.]]

'''Expanding a watering hole'''

Instead of placing a meeple on the tile you just placed, you may expand a watering hole. Place an animal tile onto a land tile such that it continues to close the circle of the watering hole.

You must use an animal tile depicting a different animal than the animals already present at the watering hole. You '''do not''' place a meeple onto this animal tile.

Depending on whether you placed the second, third, or fourth (and last) animal tile on a watering hole, you score points as follows:

* Second animal tile: 4 points

* Third animal tile: 5 points

* Fourth animal tile: 6 points

'''Note:''' You may not start digging a watering hole without placing a meeple on it.

'''C:''' {{ColorRed|You}} and {{ColorBlue|Blue}} have meples in the large bush. Since {{ColorRed|you}} has more meeples than {{ColorBlue|Blue}} there, {{ColorRed|you}} get the points for the animals. With four animals and six birds in the bush, {{ColorRed|you}} score '''10 points'''. <ref>
