Honga

A clan and its mascot

The Sabretooth Tiger Clan needs a new Chief; the most suitable person for this will be who looks after the clan best, by collecting stores, exploring the forest, attracting mammoths, paying homage to the gods and bartering with other clans. But woe betides, if the clan mascot – Honga the Sabre Tooth Tiger - is neglected. When that happens, he devours stores and is hard to get rid of.

As the active player, you resolve turn phases: 1. Place action disc showing hands in its segments, pointing at actions clearly. 2. Take care of Honga: If one hand of your action disk points at Honga, he is content and stays in place. If not, he comes to you and eats one resource from your player board; he does that in each consecutive turn, even if another hand points at him later. He is only chased away by playing a bonus card or when another players fails to point a hand at him. 3. Resolve selected actions: Take mushroom, berry or fish; Take bonus card for Forest; Take water for a joker for mushroom, berry or fish; Attract mammoth by discarding resources and maybe win Mammoth tooth; Do barter for victory points; Advance on Holy Mountain for paying homage; then you may play two bonus cards. Draw a gray or – if you own the Mammoth tooth – a red action disc. If someone has acquired the necessary number of victory points in relation to the number of players, you win with most points at the end of the round.

Attractive game fun with components of the usual extraordinary quality and sophisticated tactics, not only from bonus cards and resources, but especially from Honga himself – to have him on the board means you have one more hand to use!
