Samburu

Samburu is a board game for 2-4 players with a playing time of about 30 minutes. The goal of the game is to maneuver your giraffe in the savannah and be the first one to pick one fruit from each tree. The trick is that your giraffe needs to be the same height as the tree to be able to pick the fruit.

The game is my master project from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. The premise of the project was to combine paper folding techniques and board games. In Samburu the giraffes' necks and the trees are made with a paperfold which can be raised or lowered. The graphics are inspired by the colorful bead-art of the Kenyan tribe Samburu. The game is only a prototype.
