Come and get a sneak peek at the latest game announced by Wizkids as we check out the new board game Bumuntu. Let’s take a look.
Wizkids explore the wilds of Africa and the folklore of Bumúntú in this upcoming board game release. Let’s allow the animals to lead the way and dive in.
Bumúntú:
In Bumúntú, each player becomes a tribal leader journeying through the Congolese jungle, following the guidance of the animals and earning their favor. Each turn, players will travel around a board of 64 randomly assigned Animal Tiles by utilizing the animals’ individual abilities, inspired by each animal’s unique traits. Zebras, for example, can run in straight lines, and Flamingos allow players to fly to other spaces. Some animals allow players to attack each other, such as the venomous Black Mamba and the charging Rhinoceros. The most valuable tiles will change throughout the game, as players rearrange the Animal Favor Board to try and maximize the amount of favor their tiles will earn. At the end of the game, players will score points based on the number and types of tiles they’ve collected.
This game is packed with family fun and great cultural exploration for all. Let’s see what comes in the box.
- 1 x Jungle Board
- 80 x Animal Tokens
- 1 x Favor Board
- 10 x Favor Tiles
- 5 x Tribal Leader Pawns
- 5 x Player Shields
- 32 x Food Chips
- 1 x Token Bag
Bumúntú contains ten different animals, and players choose eight to play with each game, allowing for players to have a bit of control over the amount of interaction on the board, creating a more programmed game for more strategic players or a more interactive game for those who like to make (and break) alliances. Will the animals look kindly upon you, or will you get lost in the jungle? Find out in Bumúntú.
Bumúntú looks like fun for the entire family make sure you keep an eye out of this game as it is set to release December 2018.
