Many animals are crisscrossing the Australian outback. To control where they’re going in Outback Crossing, players lay down tiles one at a time onto a 5 x 5 grid (6 x 6 for five and six players), claim ownership of different “trails”, and change things around with the action tiles. At the end of the game, single tiles won’t score except for the Tasmanian Devil and the more tiles of one kind you have on a trail, the better the score; one per species on a trail also score very well. The Tasmanian Devil has a special value and scores even higher.

2-6 players, ages 8+
