The Tembo Tiles tube beside herds of tiles, with face-down tiles still to flip

No turns. Learn it in 30 seconds.

Pour out the tiles and flip them face down. Put the watering hole in the middle of the table, give everyone an animal and a color, and you're ready to play.

The biggest chains win. Place tiles that match your color and animal side by side, and break up any chain that starts growing too fast. When the last tile is flipped, the game is over.

Frenzied fun, no waiting

Playing is easy. Flip a tile, add it to the herd next to a matching color or animal, and do it again. Nobody waits for a turn, and the random draw means no two games play the same.

Flipped a crocodile or a lion? Lay it on top of another tile. Crocodiles break up chains, and lions are wild!

Everyone plays at once, the rules are simple and the art is bright and colorful. No wonder it's a hit with the whole family.

Into the wild lands of Africa

Issac LeFever's colorful art brings the wild lands of Africa to your table. Every copy has 216 hexagon Tembo Tiles: six animals in six themed colors. Six sets of foil-embossed Lion and Crocodile tiles throw chaos into the great migration.

The rules come in English, Spanish, German and French. Keep it for your own game shelf, or give it to family and friends.

Shipping and help

Where does it ship from?

From a warehouse in your region: Lenexa, Kansas for the US, plus warehouses in Canada, the UK, Germany (for the EU) and Australia (for Australia and New Zealand). Our fulfillment partner Allplay sells and ships every order, and the box above shows which warehouse is yours.

Will I pay customs or tariffs?

Not when it ships from the warehouse in your region. The game is already in your country, so there's nothing to pay at your door.

What does shipping cost?

$4 in the US. $9 to Canada, the UK and the EU. $14 to Australia and New Zealand. Every extra item in the same order ships free.

What if a piece is missing or damaged?

We'll replace it for free. Tell us what's missing or damaged through our contact form, include your mailing address, and we'll get the missing bits to you as fast as we can. There's always a real person ready to help.

Which languages are the rules in?

English, Spanish, German and French. All four come with the game.

Is it a good gift?

A great one. It takes 30 seconds to learn and 5 minutes to play, so it's an easy gift for just about anyone. Or keep it for your own game nights.
