Comments: | My edition is from 2000. The designers are Alan R Moon and Richard Borg. The components are well done and the game keeps well to the Australian aborigin theme, which appeals a lot to me (as an Australia fan). The game is a bit too much luck driven, although the advanced rules makes this a bit better. Still it's a good game. - The player with the boomerang starts the round. He turns the top cards of all of the
area card piles which don't have a face up card. He gets a penalty for each scorpion card.
Then in turn each player pick a face up card from one of the piles and performs the
actions indicated by the card. |
Extract from Essen report 2000-10-26 | The next game we
tried with the Dutch couple and a friend of them, who joined us, was “Wongar”.
The theme was about Australian Aborigine ceremonies. It was great and
although a bit messy in the beginning and a bit luck-based, it was
appreciated. (Actually the game has advanced rules, which eliminate some
of the luck.). After heard that I could find English rules on the net, I
bought it for 55 DM. |
