In Malagasy, four tribes live together peacefully, in symbiosis with nature. Spirit guides on the player boards help players explore the island and the ideal locations of the majestic baobabs that are considered sacred. During your turn, you can discover a new territory by placing a new biome tile receiving the favour of the spirits on the corresponding tracks or you can move your explorer to discover the animals and plants that live with you. When you interact with sea tiles, you collect new culture cards that favour your tribe. During this adventure, don't forget the sacred baobabs: if you can find the best place for each of them according to the patterns on the baobab cards, you will earn additional victory points.
