Who it's for

Chess fans and abstract-game lovers who want extra tactical texture in a short, portable format.

Not for you if…

Avoid if you need more than two players, like its sibling Savango, this is strictly a duel.

Vibe's take

Tight and tactical, distinguishing move-only arrows from capture arrows adds real depth beyond basic chess patterns, and reused captured pieces keep both players guessing about the board's true balance.

About this game

Amazongo takes the same arrow-driven animal chess concept into the jungle: checkmate the king of the jungle by outmaneuvering monkeys, parrots, and heavier hitters, each with arrows on its tile showing exactly where it can strike or simply slide.
