- Zebra Zucht - A tile laying game of zebra breeding.

I saw a game played on a board which depicted a wide Zebra with it's stripes as spaces on the board. I think the game was called Safari Cafe, but I can't find it on the Geek.

Cheers,

Oh yeah, I saw that, but I passed it by. Maybe I shouldn't have. Hmmm.
