Informations générales et commentaires
Safari a été commercialisé à l’origine par Hans im Glück en Template:Year fr.
Une chaleur tropicale règne sur l’Afrique. Nous nous rendons dans la savane africaine, où chacun cherche du regard les animaux sauvages qui résident dans cette région. Des singes se balancent dans les arbres, des lions se reposent à l’ombre des acacias, le pas lourd des éléphants fait trembler la savane. Différentes espèces se rassemblent autour des points d’eau, c’est sans doute la meilleure place pour les observer !
Note sur le titre du jeu : Lors du choix du titre du jeu, nous avons sciemment opté pour Safari. Aujourd’hui ce terme « Safari » désigne plutôt l’observation d’animaux sauvages dans leur environnement naturel que la chasse aux grands mammifères.
Matériel et mise en place
Matériel
- 72 tuiles Terrain représentant la savane, des pistes, des baobabs et des zones de brousse où les animaux se rassemblent.
- 1 tuile de départ d’une taille égale à trois tuiles Terrain.
- 50 marqueurs Animal / Quart de point d’eau représentant cinq différentes espèces. Chaque animal est représenté 10 fois. Il faut rassembler 4 marqueurs Animal pour créer un point d’eau.
- Plateau de score
- 5 tuiles Score affichant 50 et 100
- 30 meeples, six dans chacune des couleurs suivantes : Jaune, Rouge, Vert, Bleu et Noir
- 5 pions Éléphant, un de la couleur de chaque joueur
- 2 véhicules tout-terrain blancs – il s’agit de deux pions neutres appelées « véhicules » dans la règle du jeu. Ils n’appartiennent à aucun joueur.
Mise en place
Mélangez les 72 tuiles Terrain et placez-les face vers le bas dans des piles facilement accessibles à tous les joueurs [1].
Placez la tuile de départ au milieu de la table et placez les véhicules dans les espaces indiqués dans l’illustration ci-dessous.
Placez le plateau de score sur le côté de l’aire de jeu. Placez-y également les marqueurs de score.
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. [2]
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.
The animal trails
1. Placing a land tile with an animal trail
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). [3]
3. Scoring an animal trail
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
3. Scoring a feature
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 () above the bush is worth 1 point.
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.
The Baobab Tree
3. Scoring a feature
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.

The Ranger
During your turn, the rangers can be used in one of two ways:
- Option A: The tile does not displace a ranger
3a. Score features
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
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.
1. Placing a land tile
You draw a land tile and place it, continuing the landscape as normal.
2. Dig or expand a watering hole
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.
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.
Exception: You may start digging a new watering hole diagonally across from an existing watering hole. Since the animal tiles do not touch yet, you place a meeple on this tile. Once the watering hole is complete, two meeples will occupy it. In this instance, it is possible for two of the same animal to occupy the watering hole.
Règles provisoires - Remarque sur les règles provisoires
{{{rules}}}
3. Scoring a watering hole
When the fourth animal tile of a watering hole is placed, it is complete. The owner of the watering hole scores three points. If two meeples occupy the watering hole, both players score three points. If both meeples belong to the same player, that player still only scores 3 points.
Return all meeples from the watering hole to their owners.
Multiple meeples on the same feature
Although you may not place a meeple on a feature (an animal trail or bush) that is already occupied by a meeple, it is possible that, by connecting separate features, multiple meeples will occupy the same feature. When a feature with multiple meeples on it is scored, only the player with the most meeples on that feature scores points. If there is a tie for the most meeples on a feature, all tied players score the full amount of points. If multiple players have meeples on the same feature, all scoring players may add a different animal to the feature before scoring. Animal tiles only add to the score of the player who placed them.
Summary
1. Placing a Land tile
- You must place the tile you drew such that it continues the landscape and connects with existing features.
- If you are unable to place the tile you drew, return it to the box and draw a new one.
- If you place a tile in a space occupied by a ranger, you displace the ranger.
2. Placing a meeple
- You may place a meeple only on a feature on the land tile you just placed. When doing so, you must ensure that another meeple is not already occupying the feature you are placing on.
- If you lay a meeple on a baobab tree, you draw two animal tiles.
- If you do not place a meeple, you may instead dig a new watering hole, expand a watering hole, or move a ranger.
3. Scoring a feature
- Completed features are scored at the end of each turn. After scoring, players return their meeples from the scored features to their supply.
- A completed animal trail scores points based on the number of different animals present.
- A completed bush scores points in the same way as a completed animal trail, plus 1 point per bird.
- A completed baobab tree allows you to draw two additional animal tiles.
- A completed waterhole scores 3 points. [4]
- Placing a ranger after being displaced by the tile just placed scores 3 points. [4]
- If there are multiple meeples on a single scored feature, the player with the most meeples is the only one who scores. If multiple players are tied, the tied players all score full points.
Game end and final scoring
The game ends after a player draws the last land tile. That player takes their turn, then final scoring is conducted as follows:
- Animal trails and bush
- Each player with a meeple on the feature scores 1 point for every animal and bird present. Different types of animals do not matter. All players with meeples on the feature score points, regardless of who has the most meeples. [5]
- Animal tiles
- You score 1 point for each animal tile in your supply.
- Baobab tress and watering holes
- Meeples on baobab trees and watering holes do not score points.
After final scoring is complete, the player with the most points wins. If multiple players are tied, they share the victory. [7]
Use of a Table
A number of questions have been asked about rules related to the play area itself [8], including what happens when the edge of the area is reached, or if a table has to be used for play. The following clarifications are from Georg Wild from HiG (5/2013):
- The edge of the table is the limit for the game if, as stated in the rules, a table is used.
- The rules state that the starting tile is placed in the middle of the table. If all of the tiles are shifted to allow more room, the starting tile would no longer be in the middle. So in principle, total shifting of the tiles is not allowed. Additionally, with a manual shift of all of the tiles, the tiles and figures on the play area can slip, which could lead to incorrect positioning of tiles or figures.
- Addition of a second table is possible if one of an appropriate height is added to the first table. If a table is extended (as with an additional panel), make sure that the tiles and figures on the play area do not slip.
- Playing on the floor: The rules technically do not allow this, because the rules state that the first tile is placed in the middle of the table. Playing on the floor is not forbidden, however, if use of a table is not feasible. If the floor is used, tiles must be placed so all tiles are visible to all players. Tiles cannot be placed under the sofa, cabinet/shelf, etc.
- It is important generally, that all the players in the round agree how to play:
- Table - standard
- Table - with "total shifting" of tiles
- Table - with extension
- Floor
- Continue to play fairly and not intentionally unfair to other players.

Notes
Pour les licences et les explications des icônes, veuillez visiter la page des icônes.
- ↑ Les tuiles peuvent également être placées dans un sac ou une boîte pour être tirées au sort.
- ↑ It is much more convenient to put the animal tokens into a small bag and draw them randomly as required.
- ↑ In the rare case that a tile cannot legally be placed anywhere, it is removed from the game, and the player draws another.
- ↑ 4.0 4.1 Although not included in the manual, included here for the sake of completeness.
- ↑ This is a discrepancy with the HiG rules, that stipulate that the feature owner is the one scoring (It there is a tie, it has to be considered as per the normal rules.) On the other hand, the ZMG rules allow all players present in the feature to score.
- ↑
The translation of the same example in the HiG reads as follows:
- You and Blue have meples in the large bush. Since you has more meeples than Blue there, you get the points for the animals. With four animals and six birds in the bush, you score 10 points
- ↑ Once the final score is known, the winner is the player with the most points. The rules do not include tiebreakers. That is, rules explaining the situation when two or more players share the same score at the end of the game.
