Waka Waka
Send the chimp to peek at the goods before you gamble your money on them.
Who it's for
Two to four players who like trading and information games, and anyone who enjoyed Jambo and wants something in the same world with a board.
Not for you if…
You dislike memory as a mechanism or want open information to plan around. It never got the attention Jambo did and is somewhat awkward to find today.
Vibe's take
Thoughtful and slightly sly, with the satisfaction of buying cheap something you alone know is valuable. Turns are quick, decisions less so.
About this game
As African traders you buy hides, salt, tea and jewellery that are mostly hidden from view. Send your chimpanzee ahead for a peek before you commit money, keep the shaman's fire burning for his help, and call in villagers with useful skills.
