Bumúntú is an abstract tactical game for 2 to 5 players that is based on the culture and folklore of the Bakongo tribes the largest group of tribes people in central Africa. A common theme in African folklore is that animals are wise creatures who teach humans to do good and moral things.
In a game of Bumúntú there is a central jungle board that is populated with sets of animal tiles and a separate scoring board with a corresponding animal favor scoring marker. Players move through the jungle following the animals’ guidance collecting tiles. Each animal type has a unique movement pattern. Sixteen of the animal tiles (2 per animal) are advancement tiles and when taken allow you to manipulate the values of the animal scoring markers on the scoring board. Other animal tiles give you food chips which can be used to extend movement. As game play progresses it becomes more competitive with fewer tiles making movement more limited. The game ends when the sixteenth advancement tile has been removed. Score points based on the final values of the animals.
