Down Under

This tile-laying route game has players extend paths and finish with the longest route. Animal groups along a route add or subtract points, so the best-looking extension can still damage a player’s final total.

Down Under is a tile placing game where players place their tiles trying to increase their route. The player with the longest route at game end is the winner. As tiles also contain animals, players score or lose extra points for having groups of specific animals in their route. Down Under includes a separate game Sturt's Stony Desert, played using the flipside of the tiles. If you own Down Under, you own Sturt's Stony Desert. user summary
